I just finished the second chapter of the book we’re studying for ladies’ Bible study and I’m just so thankful for God today. I woke up this morning and had that feeling again of worrying about going back to school – and what I was going to do and how I was going to go about getting into a Communications graduate program (I get anxious just thinking about it). But after reading this chapter – a sense of comfort and peace really came over me. Lysa quotes Scripture from Psalm 119:105, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.” I don’t need to create these big plans for my future – all I need is to remain close to God’s Word and trust that He will lead me and guide me to live everyday for Him. And that I can truly honour Him everyday by living everyday in surrender to His promise in His word. What freedom! “Only as I follow Him and honor Him step by step can I be assured that I’m right where He wants me to be doing what He wants me to do,” “for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” Jeremiah 29:11.
Dr. John Patrick challenged us this weekend at the CLF Conference to know Scripture and live it. Its funny that I encounter that same message today. Thank you Lord for reminding me to read Your Word today.
