“Trust and Obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey”
The lyrics of the age-old hymn ring in my head in combination with Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path”
With the heros of faith, there was that outward mark and show of faith. It required doing something – a physical act. Abraham had to move out of his Father’s land. Lot had to run and never look back. And yet, I cannot help but wonder, as they were on the move, in their process of stepping-out, how did they do it from the inside?
I’m here in this place, now that I’ve stepped-out, and am accepting it day-by-day, how do I trust from the inside-out? How do I trust and obey without letting my mind run in circles? I wish I could numb the disobedient emotions and train of thoughts.
I was thinking of the pain in my current niche as I read through Proverbs 20 vs 30 (NIV): Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.
It certainly is one crazy purge-fest here I tell you :D
Have a beautiful week ahead of you J
