"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5&6
Last night pastor asked us to share a scripture that we had received in our daily quiet time or a life verse. This always brings me back to Prov. 3:5&6. This is a scripture that has spoken to my heart since becoming a follower of Jesus. Especially since getting involved in missions and leaving my 'comfort zone' of all the familiar surroundings around me. I believe we all have our comfort zones and can be very content to living within those borders. So once, stepping outside of those borders and not understanding every situation that I walked thru, I am always lead back to Prov. 3:5&6.
This being the third major move in my life and probably the hardest move with everything changing. I can only lean upon Jesus and trust that He understands everything and will bring about that understanding to me in due time. The lastest struggle with my husband's store has been a big one for me. I have traveled in and out of several countries, lived by faith for my finances for 18 years but yet this one has been the scariest for me. I guess it's the uncharted waters of not knowing what lies beneath when others are involved in what our future may look like. Although, another scripture that holds dear is "...for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands." I Sam. 17:47b The Lord will do battle for us. He has won the victory and we shall stand on His Word and know that He is there for us! In the olden days, they led forth in songs of praise and worship for what the Lord would do for them. This brings me to each day, leading forth into songs of praise for who He is in our lives. The price He paid on the cross. And the desire He has for each one of us. I know that I/we can count on the Lord Jesus to move this mountain from before us. He has give us victory.
I love the Lord Jesus. He is number one in my life. He has been faithful for the last 18 years to provide the finances I needed to travel the world for Him. And now I can rest assure that He will provide the finances for us to continue on so that we can continue on with ministry now as a couple.
Thank you Lord for each new day!! "The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1
