The great lover of people Bob Goff quits something every Thursday. This is one of his top pieces of advice for people. Today is Thursday and there are a lot of things I need to quit. I need to quit worrying. I need to quit trying to run the show (Romans 3:27-28). I am always quick to say that I trust that God knows what He is doing with my life and I am sure He will heal my heart and lead me to better things. The problem is I do not really believe that in my heart. In my heart I am trying to control God's plan for my life. I find myself saying that my hope is in _______ that God has planned and not just saying that my hope is in Him. My hope and trust should be in Him alone and not what I hope He is doing. He knows the desires of my heart, but He also always knows what is truly best for me. People are fallible. We make mistakes. People hurt us. The ones we love hurt us the most sometimes. Through it all God always picks us back up. We can trust in this promise. God has brought me through tough times before. I see in the lives of so many people around me where He has brought them through situations so similar to what I am wading through. I know that I can trust Him, I just have to let go and really trust Him.
Last night in small group while discussing Romans 1-4 we talked about what in the Bible is inconvenient for us, or what we see as the "plank in our eye". For me it has always been worry. On top of general worry lately it has been trying to control my own life instead of trusting in His plan. So today is Thursday and today I am going to quit worrying and start trusting.
