Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
This week after a situation has come up, I was reminded of this verse. Everywhere I turn there are songs or verses coming up about trusting God.
I am a planner. I need to know things way in advance so I can plan for them. I need to know if something I've never done is going to come up, so I can walk myself through it. This has a lot to do with my anxiety. It makes trust even harder sometimes because the unknown is what triggers it a lot of times. I feel more in control of my anxiety when I can walk myself through things and know what lies ahead. But that's where God likes to throw a curve ball and sometimes I can no longer see what lies before me.
I know that it's hard trusting in the unknown. I'm being taught this lesson as I write this post. I felt God nudging me to write this because maybe someone else out there needs to know that it's going to be okay. Whatever you are going through at this moment, give it to God and place your trust in His hands. Because He sees the finished picture of our lives, when we only see what pieces of the big picture looks like. In the end, it's going to be a beautiful masterpiece, even if right now it looks like a mess. I do not know what lies ahead, but I do know that I have placed my trust in a God that knows my future.
As Corrie Ten Boom once said - Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
