About three years ago I started this tradition of every year on January 1st I’d open my bible, pick a verse and that would my “verse of the year!”, so anytime something would happen it would always seem to lead me back to the verse! Well last year my verse was Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know, that I am God!” and it has really stuck with me and helped me face a lot of big things!! Like this trip to Peru, every time I start to feel down or like I’m just not doing enough I’m brought back to the peace I find in those words “Be still and know, that I Am God!”. For a long time I really always focused on the part of the verse that says to “Be still”, but it wasn’t until recently I finally realized the importance of the “I am God” part!
The last few weeks I’ve struggled with just letting God do his thing that he always does and provide for my every need! For some reason the idea of him provide felt foreign to me, I can’t explain it but I guess after I let so many people down last time my faith was a little shaken! Yet over and over again God has like always proved me wrong!! I honestly can’t count the number of people who have told me “Don’t worry, Gods got this!” and everyday I wake to a new surprise of how God is moving in my life and see just how much he has this whole thing in his control, and every time I actually stop and let God be God in my life amazing things happen!! So you would think by now it would be easy to do just that, but I still find myself stressing out beyond belief about deadlines, money, and the how and when, and what am I gonna pack, should I use a suitcase or a duffel bag?!?! All these questions and more are constantly on my mind and eating me up from the inside out, to the point where it shows on my face when people ask about the trip!!
Now I find myself in this place of a full understanding of what God can do for me if I just “Be still, and Know that I Am God!”, and as hard as that might be some days, I know that God is using every moment from right now til I return home from Peru to teach me more about His power and plans for my life! So it’s in that I will cling!!! God truly is greater than my highs and lows, and the more I trust him the more I see his blessings in the littlest of things, and his grace in the big things!!
God’s timing really is perfect!!!
