FAITH

Sometimes you do everything right and everything ends up “wrong.”

The Lord has recently taught me to accept that.

This week has been . . . amazing. I can see how it was a direct result of a leap of faith that God asked me to take over the weekend. I had been doing something that I believed was right but I was carrying it out at the wrong time and without the covering of proper authority. I did not have a peace about continuing to do it but I reasoned that what I was doing was so good and so right – how could it be wrong?

Saturday morning at 1am, after arguing with the Lord for hours previously, I finally let it go. I imagined that everything could turn out wrong, and it very well could have, but as I surrendered I reminded myself that God would not place me in any situation without adequate grace.

So there was the immediate freedom of obeying the Spirit of God. The joy; the sweetness of fellowship . . . it made me wonder why I had drug my heels for so long.

Then God threw in an extra blessing. It took me by surprise. It was a portion of something that I have prayed for during the past two years. Tonight I raised my voice to thank Him and found myself completely humbled.

He is so real. I have never seen so clearly the truth that God desires to glorify Himself through our lives. All things work together for good to those who love God.

My Savior is One whom I can trust. With everything.
