I've realized the sin in my heart has been lack of trust. I know who God is- He is a God who provides grace in time of need.
Colossians 1:28-29 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
He has given me the grace that gives me a purpose- He is my life- Colossians 3:1-3- Set my mind on Him because HE IS MY LIFE, and I will appear in glory with him one day.
Why do I worry? Matthew 7 says that it would be ridiculous for a father to give his child a stone when she asked for a piece of bread, or to give a snake when she asked for a fish.
God I ask you for that job as an 8th grade teacher at PCS. If that is not the good gift you have designed for me, then I don't want it. I trust you.
Proverbs 21 1 The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD;
he turns it wherever he will.
I envision all of the streams of water that you have made in my life so far, and it is crazy to see how you have moved those streams to put me in the middle of Peoria with a beautiful community of believers and so many opportunities to share you with those around me. How great you are, Lord. I trust you and your grace! I am a part of your Romance story!!
I just want to have your energy, to strive by your grace, and to live on your love this week! I'm excited to see what you are going to continue teaching me. Here I am, Lord!!
