We are taking a bit of a different turn today, as I am going to try to work a little more than just podcast summaries into my Wednesday Bible Study posts. (Shhh no one tell me its Thursday, I am a busy girl)
A lesson that God has been teaching me, honestly since I moved to Houston, is that everything is in His hands.
Anyone who knows me knows I am a worrier. I externally process everything to make sure I don’t miss anything and I overthink the decisions I make. Doing this only leads to worrying, particularly for no reason, because no matter how many times I worry, it never changes the outcome.
I have always had this idea of what my life was going to look like, honestly ever since I was very young. I had to do the best thing, I guess because I assumed it would bring me the most happiness. So when I decided that I loved biology, Doctor equaled Happiness. I knew exactly who I was going to be. I took my MCAT and I was looking at Medical Schools and then right in the middle of my list of to dos God decided to interrupt. But what I did not realize at 14 years old is that, for me at least, Doctor did not equal happiness. So many other things did.
Now I am 24 years old and not even close to understanding what I want to do with the rest of my life and I am in the middle of accepting that fact as okay. It is truly not up to me and honestly that’s wonderful.
A Bible verse I have been loving and reminding myself of frequently has been Psalms 37:4-7.
4Take delight in the Lord,
Psalms 37:4-7
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
What a beautiful fact that I do not have to worry. My trust is in the Lord, He desires my happiness. If I have faith in that, what more do I need.
