Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
What a beautiful, loving portion of scripture that verse is. What heavenly peace, love, rest and joy for those who are on the path to learning to trust in the Lord with all their heart.
I didn’t have anything to share today until I remembered what the Lord told me two days ago that was so beautiful and freeing. I’ve been having several new migraine attacks per week that have really slowed me down. I was thinking about everything I could have done with my life – and in this life – had I not had the migraines. Immediately, God said, “Your life is not about what you can/could do. Your life is about what I can do.”
Someone may need to hear that today. It hit me again just before I wrote this email. What God told me gave me so much more peace about how my life has gone. In fact, His words put my life in His hands where it belongs. I never need to stress about this or that concerning my life. He’s in control. I just need to leave my life in His care and follow His lead at any given moment. I don’t need to spin my wheels rehearsing things in my own understanding. I can simply trust God with it all and actually be excited about what He’s up to without even knowing the details. My life is His to bring Him glory however He sees fit.
“It’s not about what you can do. It’s about what I (God) can do.”
God bless you all.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
