the path

"You are on the right path. Listen more to Me, and less to your doubts.

I am leading you along the way I designed for you."

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path.

*****

The path you are on is where Jesus wants you to be. He has brought you to this place for a reason. Walk with Him and listen to Him. Don't keep questioning. He has a plan for you.

judging

"Stop judging and evaluating yourself, for this is not your role... Don't look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is My unconditional love.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

the future

"I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold My hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy--even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. "

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of the law.

*****

Oh, how often I've thought if I just knew what was going to happen, I could deal with it. I have always hated being in 'limbo' and not knowing or waiting to see what was going to happen next. I've not ever thought about the future being one of God's secrets. A secret that He chooses and controls. A secret that He reveals at just the right moment. I am to trust Him and focus on the truths that He has already revealed to me: His unending love, His purpose for my life, His sovereignty... and so much more.

How about you? Are you wasting your time wanting to know God's secret of your future, when He is desiring for you to enjoy this day that He is revealing to you? Let's celebrate today!
