WOW!!! Only 30 more days until I am on my way to start this amazing journey. I cant help but to have the stupid grin on my face every time I think about what God is going to show me in these upcoming months. In so many ways i’m excited beyond belief to travel, learn, love, and grow as a solider for Christ. Yet at the same time I get so many feelings of anxiety and fear about so many things. The what if I cant do it? What if I mess up? What if the money doesn’t come in? These are questions that keep me up at night. “For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love.” Psalm 33:4-5. I was looking up versus on trusting God because it can be a struggle and i found this. These words help remind me that God has never failed and is a fair, loving, faithful God and I know that He will provide to make sure that what happens is His plan. While I almost never understand or see God’s plan tell it’s motion every time I see that the works our God does is so much better than anything I could ever imagine. You see this perfect protection in Matthew,
Matthew 6:26-34New King James Version (NKJV)
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Truly now I know that my God will not harm me for his plans are for me to prosper. He gave His Son for us, why would he stop there!!! Thank you so much for reading my blog, like stated above i leave in about a month and my second deadline is coming up even sooner. I would love support both through prayer and donations if you feel called to do so.
God Bless,
Alex Hogue
