Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean
on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make
straight your paths.
For years, I've been in a season of tremendous stretching! I received a word of wisdom from a friend of
mine. He said, "Ron, the word is TRUST." I've discovered that I've
lived with a vicious cycle in my life of wanting to trust and trying to force
myself to trust out of sheer willpower, but then ultimately sliding back into
the trap of fear, ultimately feeling defeated and hopeless.
I am really working on learning about God's grace! Learning
about His grace is changing my life. Understanding that He is love and that I'm
not separated from Him has changed me! I'm experiencing a freedom that I've
never known. I feel like I'm relearning the good news of the Gospel, which is the
fact that Jesus has already entered into our realm of existence and is eager to
participate in our journey of healing and wholeness. He's already come into the
middle of our storms and messes and says, "I'll walk with you if you let
me."
I want to encourage you today; instead of exhausting
yourself on the treadmill of performance, try crawling up into the lap of
Jesus, and let go!
Dear Lord, give us a revelation in our heart today that
knows You are good! When we get weary
and worried help us to rest in Your peace. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
