Proverbs 3:5-6
I am one of those people that hate to make decisions but if forced to, I can and do so quite frequently actually. In the position I have at work, I have to make pretty weighty choices all the time and really don’t think too much of it, because I am accustomed to procedures and trust those procedures to work when put into place.
However, when I have to make a decision in my own life or the lives of my children, I usually have to think about it a little longer, mull over and pray it through. You see this is one thing I hate about being a single mom; it’s up to you and you alone!
Trust me; Deanna can drive herself CRAZY with thinking something through.
I can think it through on the positive end, and the negative, but because of my tendency to have fear, it usually is on the negative side that I lean.
This morning I am faced with one of these decisions. Actually I was faced with it last night. No, actually it is an all too familiar scenario.
As I went to bed at almost one this morning, I was able to go to sleep without too much trouble, but early this morning, it was the first thing on my mind.
The first thing I did was start thinking about the negative. You see, this time the big decision was rather made for me. But now I have to make all the small ones that follow a large one, which have large meanings in and of themselves……. Again, I started thinking it through on the negative end and God stopped me. I mean literally stopped me and reminded me of the scriptures we all know so well.
Proverbs 3:5-6“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean NOT on thy own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct your paths.”
I stopped and considered what my blog was yesterday and how God was preparing me such a huge step of faith in Him……
Ok, Lord, With ALL my heart I will trust, I will not lean towards my own understanding, I am acknowledging that You alone are God in my life and I will allow You to direct my paths. I WILL be obedient in this….. No matter what fears are there. AMEN
