I was blogging when I accidently hit something on the keyboard which deleted the entire blog. Maybe I just wasn't suppose to blog that so I will attempt another try. As you read the following words I want you to hear them as words spoken directly into your life and circumstance. The underlined words I have heard spoken to me a number of times this past week. I think the Lord is trying to tell me something.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones."
You see, my understanding is only that. Mine. Do I know what tomorrrow holds? No - so why do I even look to my own understanding?! This God who loves me knows that my wisdom is only fleeting but when I fear him (honor him) and lean on him he will bring refreshment to me. None of us do this like we should, we get caught up in our own plans and forget that this God of the universe has our life all in order already. I think we all know what our body feels like when we become anxious about something. We can't sleep, we become fearful, we get snappy with others...etc. This is all in attempt to use our own wisdom to figure things out. How sad that we miss out on the fresh healing refreshment that Christ offers to us.
"Come, you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." If you haven't been there in a while (like me) and your longing for the refreshing that Christ has for you just stop and get quiet. Close your eyes and ask him to refresh you. These are his promises to us and his promises never fail. Let's hold on to the truth.
