Who am I trusting?

Praying the Psalms Series 

Day 3

It’s okay if anxious thoughts and worry has entered your mind right now as the world is changing before our eyes.  I have had them too. ⁣

Does this mean I don’t have faith? No, our human emotions can take us over if we rely on them. As a believer, we have to check our hearts with Gods Word. I believe this is testing of our faith.  Who are we trusting? ⁣

⁣

We are called to 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 so many times in scripture.  In Psalms 62, God is called our refuge, stronghold, and our rock.  So we don’t have to be shaken by emotions that will arise with the shifting of this world.  God is in control! Our faith is built stronger as we rest in the peace and hope He brings to us. ⁣

⁣

Does this mean we won’t get sick? I don’t know but God is the healer and our salvation. ⁣

Does  this mean we won’t go through some hard days ahead? I don’t know but God is walking with us to the end of it. (Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 12:2)⁣

⁣

I am praying for our faith to be unshaken and our hearts secure in 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞!

Only through J E S U S 

can we be changed, 

loved limitlessly, 

be enduringly strong, 

forgiven, 

sanctified, 

and always delivered. 

God the Father sent his son Jesus to suffer for us and redeem us through His resurrection on the cross.  If I am a disciple, I am a reflection of Christ for those here in this life.  This is my time to step up! Jesus is all sufficient and qualifies me to share the gospel.  I have said it before and I will keep #preachingtomyself  to be “salt and light.” Season my community with God’s grace and through His Words share power and light up the darkness.  Beloved child of God there is nothing that disqualifies you other than listening to the enemy.  

I love this latest order in the shop that went out this week!  It inspired me who Jesus is and how that impacts me as a believer 🧡

What about you?   Have you felt disqualified from sharing who Christ is? 

Let’s me encourage you today that your story matters! 

Blessings-

Knitting and reading this morning!

Hello friends!

I am reading through Jen Wilkin's book None like Him and I have stopped at self-sufficient because as I read this chapter I was nodding my head in agreement. I have turned to self sufficiency in myself instead of God alone. God is self sufficient, we are not. He doesn't need us. We need Him. You have heard this saying, "they are so needy". Right? I have said it and felt that way.  There are sinful desires that we think we need and can lead to bad things for sure but we were created to need God.  There is a part of us that has needs only He can meet. So really were created needy, to need Him.

Here are some ways we deny God and boy it might sting because I am guilty of these too.
Prayerlessness, forgetfulness, lack of conviction of sin, avoiding christian friends, and anger in trials these all hit me because how many times have I avoided prayer? Things in life are going great but no time to acknowledge the One who gives me everything. Forgetting where my provisions come from, that it is not based solely on my job or our circumstances. God put me where I am.
Have I avoided friends before, sure have when sin has taken root.  For sure we don't want conviction to sting us in the heart so we avoid church or anything that has to do with God. Concealing our lives as if everything is great when its not.
Oh and anger can take us down a rabbit hole of emotions away from God. There is no humble of heart toward God because we got this.
Wrong! We dont have everthting together as a beliver, we have nothing
but the sufficiency of Christ if we allow Him to have control.

All of these things, we are talking about here are indicators that we as believers are not relying of God but our own self suffiency.
I have been exhausted in ministry with my husband and felt the anxiety and worry that is when I took on the self sufficiency role in my life and didn't hand it over to God. In my lack, is where He is glorified. Only God is self sufficient. Only God has no needs.
We do have needs. We have a lack that God can fill with abundance. As believers, we should always seek Him to meet our every need.

How am I relying on God alone today? Lord I am in need of you for sure every hour and day. Amen

"And my God, will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Jesus Christ." Phillipians 4:19

Thanks for hanging around here, and taking the time to read my ramblings. I am thankful for the truths God is teaching me and I hope by me sharing with you and not keeping them in I can help share His sufficiency and love for each of us.

Christ alone,
