Unsure of myself, but trusting God's direction...

Something that I've kind of been thinking about lately is the fact that trusting the Lord's direction and communing with Him is so much more important than having a plan for future events. I don't understand why I should ever be skittish and worried when all the direction I need is found in Christ. Unfortunately, I struggle with this constantly. Like most people, I always want to know what's going to happen next and what I should be doing now to prepare for it. In reality, knowing that I can place all of my trust in the hands of a soverign God who knows what He wants for me, future events should be the least of my concerns. I pray that that Lord develops in me a heart's desire to just give my best effort to honor Him in each day and rest assured that He knows what He's doing. This year has been such a testimony to that fact and I smile looking back on it. Though I look forward to heaven with so much anticipation, it's such a joy to enter each day not knowing exactly what lies ahead but having confidence in God's plan and purpose. I want to live each day with that mentality and ask for the Lord's grace and patience with me as I learn how to do so. Merry Christmas everyone! God's blessings to all!

For His glory, Josh Gilbert
