Making Your Steps SECURE. Just Trust.

I love when God speaks to me. It is just so refreshing & it is such an encouragement to be reassured that I'm heading in the right direction.

So this world race... It's been a struggle in more ways than one. First of all, just trying to get peace about whether or not it is God's will has been my main concern. The next hurdle was the fear I had when it became real that this is what I was doing. And the biggest obstacle of all will be the funding.

It is just, overall, a test of my faith.

This morning I receive a promise and a confirmation that I'm in the right place..

Psalm 40:2 really spoke to me: He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

This is me. This is my promise. God brought me out of that pit I was living in. He raised me up and set me on the rock. He put me here for a purpose and if I step out in faith, he will make my steps secure. I just have to trust Him.

Psalm 56:11 - in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Psalm 37:5 - Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and HE will act.

Last but not least.. a personal favorite at the moment.. Psalm 33:21 - For our heart is glad in him, because we TRUST in his holy name.

My heart is glad. I am learning to trust. I have trusted Him this far and He has brought me this far. Why not continue to trust and see what amazing things he will do in my life? Trust. That is the key. And that is why I am so happy. My joy is found in my trust in Him and his love and goodness for me.

The Psalms are such a great place to turn when we face fleshly obstacles and trials. They were written by David, a man after God's own heart, but still a wicked sinner. He was so very human just like us. At times he was so close to God and then at times he would run so far. There is so much to be learned from his struggles. So much to be learned about the love of God through his love and goodness to David.

If you're discouraged or confused or searching for God, look for him in his word. There is no better place to find God than in the books he wrote to us. They were meant to help us on our earthly journey here. They are full of encouragement and wisdom and instruction and help. Don't turn to people of this world to help you. The creator of the universe has something to say to you. Go check it out. And if you don't know where to start, download the Bible app on your phone and search something. Search a word or a phrase. Just start seeking and you will find it - He will show you what you need to see.
