LESSONS

Psalm 33:10-11 “The LORD shatters the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intensions can never be shaken”

Psalm 32:8-9 “The LORD says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life, I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control’” 

I often feel like I’m fighting you for control… how silly of me.  Jesus, I want to get so wrapped up in my love for you and others that I forget about myself and stop caring what people think.

Please God, make my heart desire you most, make your pursuit of me be enough, and let my life show that I live to please you… just you. 

My busy summer has kept me from you, God. I allowed it to happen. I take the blame.  But when I stop moving, when life gets quiet… I miss you. A lot.  And yet still I distract myself from you, not wanting to slow down. Hmm… maybe because I don’t know where to start. Maybe because, when I do stop moving, I feel a little lost and a bit overwhelmed. Oh life is messy… “But Moses told the people, ‘Don’t be afraid. Just stand where you are and watch the LORD rescue you. The Egyptians that you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight for you. You won’t have to lift a finger in your defense!’” Exodus 14:13-14

We cannot see the end, we cannot see a solution, but God will come through. He parted the Red Sea! He will rescue… Oh Jesus, help me trust that.
