Sometimes I struggle to really "trust" God. It's hard for me to rest in knowing that what He's doing is best. I'll say the right words when someone asks, but then in the quietness of a morning or in those last few thoughts before I fall asleep, the "situation" comes back to mind and I doubt. I doubt Him. I doubt that He's enough.
So today I'm going to try just as hard as I can to view everything that happens through the lens of His provision. I'm going to take everything someone says to me, everything I hear said around me, everything I say, everything I do and everything people do around me and try to see God's provision in it. When I hear a complaint or when I complain today I'm going to stop and instead of thinking about what isn't "preferable" I'm going to try to think about it with His perspective; how He's provided in that situation. When I'm cold walking to class I'm going to try to think about how He's provided me with a coat and gloves. When I hear that someone accomplished something I want to think about how it was by His provision that it was possible. Okay I think you get the point... I want to focus on His provision so that I can better understand how much sense it makes to trust Him. I know I'm suppose to trust Him just because, but He's given me soooo many reasons to trust Him that it just makes sense to try and focus on them. I think the more I can grasp how He's providing everyday for everyone around me the more I will desire to trust Him. Because ultimately... He is enough.
So what is it today that you know is true about God but you're struggling to live it out?
What is it today that you need to focus on in order to straighten out your perspective of Him and of your life?
Do you need to focus on His grace to stay humble?
Do you need to focus on His love to better love those around you?
Do you need to focus on His justice to keep from doing wrong?
What is it today?
