Trusting in the Lord
Good morning brothers and sisters. As things unfolded yesterday because I had promised to let the Holy Spirit guide me and be in control of my attitude and my mouth, God used it. I had something that needed to be done and went and did it just to be told that I couldn't do it. The reason, it was against their policy because a new company had taken over. I knew it was something that had been done in the past but now that someone new was in charge, could not do it. But instead of getting angry, I answered with grace and mercy. I didn't get mad. I just said ok. I asked what I needed to do now because of the new policy. And God brought me to Jeremiah this morning. Jeremiah 29:11-13. 11-For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. See by me not reacting the way that I would have if I had not let the Holy Spirit guide me, I would not have peace. I would not have hope. I would have been worried and anxious. 12- Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13- And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I did call upon Him. I did go and pray and He did listen. For today, I know what I need to do to get done what I needed. I sought His guidance before responding and found Him and the answer. See I am learning to seek His righteous answer before I respond and the right answer will come without all the anxiety and worry. This is the peace of the Lord. He keeps me calm even when things of this world doesn't turn out the right way. He makes a way. And as I continue to do this, I will grow stronger in the Lord and His voice will be the loudest. Have a blessed day and rise up child of God, rise up!
