Let's see. Where am I today?
Resting in the fact that I am in the midst of a step and have the next step to take.
My focus has been reduced to what is right in front of me.
How, when, where, why, what the promise is in its fullness is no longer a puzzle I am desperately trying to put together.
The concerns of this world have been prayed for and laid before the feet of Jesus.
None of what I mentioned is within my control.
It is clear that it will not be done my way, but His, so worrying, stressing, even pressing is futile.
I put it all in the Lord's hands.
I am in the midst of the step He told me to take, have the next step in front of me and seeking clarity on a few things that are arising that may be steps or a distraction.
If God were silent, it would be a concern.
If I was standing in the midst of nothingness not knowing what to do, I would be concerned.
But this is not my case.
I may not see the whole path to walk down, but I see the step in front of me and right now I have to rest in that.
God orders the steps of the righteous and as long as I keep seeking and taking the step in from of me with Jesus, then I know God's will for my life will be fulfilled.
Do I lose sight of the promise? No, I simply fix my gaze on the step in front of me so that I don't stumble and fall or step in the wrong direction.
This time in my life is too critical and I need to walk this narrow road to enter the small gate that few ever even find, but I know the Lord Himself is leading me to it.
I have no idea how I will be able to continue to do what God has called me to do now; nevertheless, the more God is calling me too. I don't even know how I am going to continue to live in the manner God has called me too.
All I know is to take the step the Lord has placed in front of me and to continue stepping as the steps appear and this is how I will walk with the Lord.
I settled in this way of thinking: the future belongs to Jesus, as the past and present. My only responsibility is in seeking, looking and taking the step. And for now, that's enough to bring me the peace and solace my very soul needs.
From Jesus:
Can that be enough Jennifer? Can you trust that if you take the step that I am leading you into the promise- somewhere good, somewhere for you, that you will enjoy? Jennifer, I know you doubt my leading. You doubt if you will even like where I lead you. Trust, that I know the number of hairs on your head. Where I am leading you is for your ultimate good and will prosper your soul. Trust me, moment by moment, day by day. I AM leading you somewhere and you will like where I lead you. Do you trust Me?
PAUSE
It's ok Jennifer. In time, you will. Keep stepping.
Question of the day
Do you trust Jesus?
Can you turn over your past, present and future to Jesus?
Will you just place your focus on the instruction He has given you now and what He has led you to do next?
Let go of what you can't control and move in the moment with the Lord.
Scripture
Job 23:8-12
“But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
