When i awoke this morning my head was filled with anxiety of things to do. What shall i wear, what's for breakfast, what time are we leaving to go to church, my youngest son was already awake and i needed to do something with him so he doesnt disturb me while i spend time with God and so the saga of clearing my mind continued to get more and more cluttered with each step i took. Then i was thinking i gotta have my coffee, where is my bible, should i go over the notes from the meeting yesterday or what should i read. Then the big question "What am i expecting from God today" when i read?
So a culmination of things got set in motion, i made coffee, grabbed a cup and got a few throw blankets, got my notes and my bible and started my time with God and the first thing i saw was the following passage.
Jeremiah 17:5-8 (New International Version)
5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
It just really helped me see this morning that God is asking me to trust in him and not in man. Again i 'm still battling the emotions of being out of work in this economy and fighting through the pressure of finding a Job and taking care of my family and then processing all the Love that is coming our way from the disciples. We (our Family) love each of you and Thank you.
The main point of all this is, when i decide to trust God, I have too because there is nothing else to trust. And he says when I do that....I will be like a tree planted by the Water, with DEEP ROOTS and not worrying about Droughts (times like these right now).
I love the God I serve and His son who gave me a chance to know him!
