At the point of life that I am at right now, there are a lot of big decisions that I know I will have to make in the near future. I know that a lot of the choices I make now are crucial to the outcome of those decisions. It overwhelms me at times to think about this. Things like my major, my career and marriage used to be things that I would only daydream about when I was younger and it felt like those things were so far ahead in my future. But as I sit here today, it is crazy that I am almost twenty years old and these things are not just something I daydream about anymore; they are things that I am beginning to live out. Time has passed so quickly and seems to continue to. God has reminded me that these are not decisions I need to make. He is always with me and has a plan for each of these areas of my life. The verses above have been very reassuring and comforting to me. God will meet our every need and will give us His peace always.
God is writing my story. He is writing your story. He is the author of my life and the perfecter of my faith. He knows what the purpose of my life is because He designed it. God asks us to trust Him when we become overwhelmed by big decisions. When we feel unsure of what the point of our lives is, God asks us to look to Him for direction. "Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always" -Psalm 105:4. When there are times in our lives when nothing special or significant seems to be happening, God asks us to stay right where we are, trusting that He will show us what we are to do. Instead of being bored or becoming discouraged by the lack of action, God asks us to use this time to seek Him. He has a plan for each of us. During these times, it becomes obvious to me of my deep need for God and how apart from Him, I can do nothing. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing" -John 15:5.
God is writing each of our stories. He has a plan for each of us. We have no reason to worry. We have the gift of hope. We can trust that our God is in control. We are blessed when we walk trustingly with the Lord through the routine of our days. God will make things clear to us when they are supposed to be and when it is His timing, but in the meantime, we are to be patient and simply trust. Go to Him in prayer, seek Him and be comforted by the fact that God is the author of your story. He has a purpose for me and for you.
