So I’m accepted into Gap Year(!!!!!!!!!), in touch with my mobilizer and my team, I know some details, but I feel like I am doing nothing to prepare.
Paul has been at the forefront of my mind this week. His journey and mine have some similar themes. The one thing they don’t always have in common is a complete trust in God’s provision. I so often take all responsibilities upon myself and forget that I cannot do anything without my Heavenly Father. I strive to live like Paul did and follow God blindly.
Now do not misinterpret the word “blindly”. The world has come to believe that following blindly means you are naive, dumb, or childish. But I crave to follow blindly without inhibition, with full unhindered trust that the Lord, my God is faithful and just. When we surrender to His will, the Lord replaces our worldly sight with eternal perspective and Kingdom visions.
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”
I am praying that in this season of preparation I would lean on Him and not on my own understanding. I pray for all of you to relinquish your grip on your life and give it to the one whom your life was created for.
So I come back to my first statement; there is nothing for me to prepare except my heart before the throne of God. He is the provider and preparer of all things in and of this world and I rest in that truth as I walk “blindly” through this season of preparation.
Proverbs 19:21 “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.”
love love love,
Ellen
