I found this blog in an old journal this morning during my prayer time. It seemed to speak right to me and I thought I would share. It is dated Monday, March 1, 2010, 10:50 p.m.
Sometime's it is hard to know God's will. His voice is clear but my human reasoning gets in the way. I know that God desires only the best for but just because I know something doesn't mean I feel it. You know what I mean. That deep down place wants to have faith. But then my logic kicks in. Oh when will I ever learn to stop thinking and just listen!
Logic has its place; no one would deny that. But my human logic often gets in the way of my faith. I vow to do better. I will trust God. I promise this to myself and to Him too. But then the unexpected occurs. A family tragedy strikes. There are problems on my job. A bill is due. There is not enough money, it seems. Will I fret or will I listen to the voice of my friend?
I hear him whisper; "I'm still here", he says. I have gone nowhere. I never will. Trust me. Be still and know that I am God.
So I will stop and listen. I will not speak, but wait. It may take a moment. My mind is crowded. It gently clears and I hear my best friend speak.
"Be still. Be not afraid. I will lead you. It will all work out." Strengthened, I arise to face a new day. Where moments before there was turmoil, now there is peace. God hears. God understands. I will not be afraid. Through Christ I can; I will; I am. Because HE IS. Amen!
