It is funny to me that yesterday I was doing a Bible study and about half way through I was like "man this scripture seems REALLY familiar." Then I realized, it was because it should have been familiar...I had done the SAME one the day before. I am glad God allows for revisits, as yesterday I found the Words to be what I was going to need to repeat to myself over and over that very night and even some today...
The solution to fretting (and my encouragement from God to trust in Him and be patient when I have been home from India for almost 7 weeks and have no job, no car, [you kinda need a car to have a job, and a job to have a car kinda deal] no plan, no insurance, no precise direction, etc.) taken from Psalm 37:
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. (reminds me to think back on God's Words in Jeremiah 29:7 about seeking the welfare of the place the Lord has taken you as in its welfare is your welfare)
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and he will do it. (Ephesians 3:20...He is able to do 'exceeding abundantly' beyond all that we ask or think)
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; (Rest and Patience...hmmm)
Do not fret, it leads only to evil doing.
But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
Thank you Lord for your perfect timing with the Word. Now please help me abide in Your Truth...not just hearing it and then walking away, but actually doing what it says... And thank you for my awesome big sis...coming home would not have been the same with out her. I love you Jen!
