Something happened this past week that has caused me to realize something in my life that I need to change. This has to do with trust, patience, and obedience.
Trust in God. All to often I find myself not trusting God, but trust in myself. Now the question to ask, is why would I do something like that when it is so blatantly obvious I don't have the power to do anything without Jesus Christ? It's absurd! Christ is my strength! In him will I trust!
Patience in things I have no control over. This is almost the same as trust. You can't have one without the other. They walk hand in hand. It's about waiting on the Lord! To Know that no matter how hard you try, God will direct your paths. And God knows best!
Obedience in Gods will. This is one I find difficult. It is hard to do what Jesus wants me to do when I am so caught up in pleasing myself. Some people say that God would want us to enjoy life. But I believe He wants us to to enjoy life by pleasing Him and serving other! I believe the common misconception with being happy, is we aren't on earth to be happy! Christ does not promise us happiness. He Gives us Joy! And being joyful does not mean you have a smile on your face! Joy could be dying for someone one you love!
Jesus Christ is my protector!
