Recently, God has been teaching me a massive lesson about trust. As someone who loves plans and gets way too excited about Google Calendar, I find it really hard that I don't know what I'll be doing long-term after I finish uni next week (yeah, I know, weird!). Lots of things feel like they're changing at the moment. Many of them are massively exciting yet lots of what's happening involves stepping into the unknown. Last week at church, we were looking at the Armour of God and for me, it was a good reminder to continually be putting on the shield of faith and to trust God when I don't know what's happening.
Several verses have struck me on this subject recently. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us to ask for our daily bread. Not our weekly stock up or supplies for a month. What we need for today. This struck me last week as I taught it to our young people - He invites us to come to Him DAILY for what we need and we can trust Him to provide. Across the Bible, there are countless examples of ways in which God provides for people and strengthens them to do what He calls them to do, right there, in the moment. What's more, God tells us not to worry about tomorrow, something which is often easier said than done.
One of the best things about learning to live a day at a time is the challenge to rejoice and enjoy every single day. When I'm not worrying about the future, I get to notice and appreciate the massive blessings that I have received today. Time with friends, chilling at church and even doing mundane things suddenly become so much better and I get to be fully present and fully enjoy all that God has for me each day, knowing that He will provide all that I need to face whatever does or doesn't come up.
I'm writing this mainly to remind myself of the truth that God has been teaching me recently so apologies if it's a bit random. Praying that you too will keep trusting in the God who has far better plans than we can even imagine :)
