I know it has been a while since I have posted on my blog. I believe we go through different seasons in life and I have been in a season where I found myself needing to be quiet. I am reading a book called Anonymous: Jesus’ Hidden Years and Yours and it is helping me understand a little bit more about this time of life.
I have faced some health issues over the last year that has taken me out of my element and reminded me I am not in control. God has taught me a lot, one of which is how important it is for me to spend time with Him daily.
So here I am today and wanted to share something God is teaching me now. Life is a little chaotic right now. A lot going on and I seem to have a lot of “I’m not sure what to do” moments.
I find myself lying awake at night wondering what to do. I so desperately want to make good decisions; and not just good decisions, but ones that are led by God. And as I lay there trying to figure things out in my mind, God quietly reminds me, this is not for you to figure out.
In those quiet moments, He said trust me, keep your eyes on me, spend time with me, I will light your path every step of the way. Did Moses have things figured out? What about Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Abraham? Did they know how the plan would unfold? No! They did not! I wanted them to trust me and that is what I want from you. Please trust me.
Barrett, my 9 year old son is a lot like me in that he always wants to know the plan and if he thinks there is not one, he is happy to set one in motion. Oh how often I find myself doing the same thing. Sometimes we must wait patiently and simply trust God.
I find if I start out my day spending time with Him, He prioritizes my chaotic to do list and lights my path one minute at a time.
The scripture that inspired this is 2 Chronicles 20:12 …….We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.
My prayer today is that I keep my eyes on Him!
