Life is a puzzle
Right now I feel like my life is a puzzle. A huge puzzle at that! Lol as I just put together a puzzle it reminded me of my life. But in my life, God is putting together my puzzle. It starts with this verse:"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I set you apart;I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5 NIV)
God created us and isn't just going to create you and leave you.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)
What I really want to focus on is trusting God enough to say your will Lord not mine. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5, 6 NIV) I know people who get engaged and then break it off. They will say oh it's the Lords will but really it's their own. When it's the Lords will you will know. We have to take our own wants out of our life's and put Gods in. Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4 NIV)
That's a promise right there!! If we delight (1 : a high degree of gratification : joy; also : extreme satisfaction
2 : something that gives great pleasure) Ourselves in the Lord He WILL give us our hearts desires.
I think God places desires on our hearts. But He's testing us to see what we do. Do we delight in Him? I love God so much. I delight in Him.
So the question is why are we scared of God's will? For me I'm scared.
Although God says:So do not fear, for I am with you;do not be dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you;I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 NIV)
There's a situation on my life where other people have controlled it to much. It's hard when the people is your family. I'm so much a family girl. I love my family. After the sixth grade I was around my family 24/7. But it's my life(well God's life) I have to do what God calls me to do. I can't wait to be a missionary. But my parents will/are going to have a hard time with that. But! I can't just let them control what God has in store for me. I'm a pawn in God's game. Not anyone els. With God controlling my moves. Yesterday a lady at church told me something God gave her when I was being prayed for. What she said was right on with my life. It made me have a knot in my stomach because I knew what I had to do... And I want to do it but scared of the outcome. But later that day after talking to someone I knew it was God's will. No doubt about it.
So yeah my life puzzle is CRAZY! But God guiding my steps.. It will be good crazy because my life is Gods.
The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23, 24 NIV)
Who's in control of your life?
A person's steps are directed by the Lord.How then can anyone understand their own way? (Proverbs 20:24 NIV)
In their hearts humans plan their course,but the Lord establishes their steps. (Proverbs 16:9 NIV)
