God's Calling Us to..

TRUST HIM FOR
OUR TOMORROWS ---

"The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." Psalm 33:11 (NKJV)

~~WE never know what twelve months will hold. We never know the joys, we never know the challenges. I don't know if people who are important to me will be handed diagnoses that are not good. I don't know if there will be born another Mother Teresa or another Billy Graham or John Wesley. We just don't know.

But what we do know is that a long time ago God knew what the twelve months would hold. He knew the good and the bad and the challenges and the sorrows and the joys, and He won't be surprised by any of it. Whether it's walking over a grassy knoll in a family cemetery or whether it's holding this brand new creature that has your eyes or your jaw line, He won't be surprised by it.

The older I get, the more comforting it is to me. As you get older you realize that there are things that you cannot change. When you're young everything seems possible, and then you get older and a lot of truths settle in. For me, that's when it's been so comforting to say: "He is a lot smarter than I am, He knows me better than I know myself, and He cares so much about the ins and outs of my today, and my tomorrow, and my next week. I have to trust Him for that."

God's Calling..
FOR ME

When we try to be God, it only brings frustration. In surrender is peace. Just as children play while adults provide a home, so the Lord cares for His children, not requiring us to "lift" beyond our design, but simply to be recipients of His riches, to obey His instructions, and thrive.

---TO GOD - cross

There is peace in knowing "the LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him" (Nahum 1:7 NKJV).

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
