I know that when I worry I begin to feel anxious and out of control. Also, when I think about the future I begin to feel tense. Always wondering what is going to become of my life. I know that I am called to go to school for professional ministries but why? What will I do? I know that I am called to homeschool my daughter but what will I do when she is graduated? I know that I a called to wait....wait RIGHT where I am at. But why? It is the why that I have to remind myself not to worry about. It will all be done in God's time and I know this. He is the only one that knows these things. He knows what His plans are and will reveal them when the time is right. So, I must live one day at a time! I know this but it can be hard. As matter of fact, with out God leading my every move it cannot be done.
Wednesday night Bible study has taught me alot about this. We are doing the Resolution book right now. We just finished the part on contentment. I always thought I was sooooo content with my life. But, God has shown me that as long as I am worrying about the future ALL the time the contentment is not there. He has to come first in my life in order for there to be contentment. "But godliness with contentment brings great gain." (Colossians 3:13). It says 'godliess with contentment'. It doesnt' say just contentment. This is telling us that without godliness there can be no contentment.
So, what will I do with this knowledge? I will live each day like it is my last not worrying about what the future holds. Does this mean not planning for my future? No, that would be irresponsible. It just means that I will not worry about it. And when things don't go exactly my way I will remember that my life is God's life. I belong to Him and His timing is good!
