It's been a while since my last post. Over the past couple weeks I've been really busy with everything going on in college. I've tried to manage everything myself. This week I looked at my calendar for October and wondered how I could ever get through it. The question really was "How can I do this...by myself?" No, I didn't realize that I was thinking that, but I really was. The truth is, there is no way I could ever accomplish anything this month without God. I've never been so freaked out about anything in my life. SO MANY MIDTERMS AND DEADLINES. Through my devotions the past couple days, God has just showed me that I CAN'T do ANYTHING. At least not on my own. Why do I even try? I'm independent which sometimes kicks me around when it comes to my relationship with God.
I've realized this week that I can't count on myself to amount up to anything or try to accomplish anything without God. I have to be reminded this a lot it seems. This realization process started Tuesday night at the College worship service. During the response time, there were cards at the front that said "God, I trust you..." Through this new chapter of my life, there have been many changes. I HAVE to trust God with everything. He has a plan. "For I know the plans I have for you,"says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 If I trust in God, he will provide. He will bring me through the difficult times. HE WILL.
What in your life are you afraid to give to God because you want to handle it yourself or you don't want anyone to know? God knows already. He's just waiting for you to seek him and trust him. "Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." Psalm 55:22 He WILL take care of you.
