Trusting Him is such a life changer, huh?

I am having a day off from work and from grandbabies, and it is very quiet around here.

While I enjoy time at work and with my family, I am enjoying the peace, and the quiet. I have been meal prepping a wee bit, a little exercising, not much, lol. I have also been studying Ezekiel a bit. WHOA, btw, pray for me, please, as it seems this book is WAY over my head. So I will seek to remain diligent and consistent in my efforts, but will need some divine revelations if it is what my Lord would have for me right now.

Anyway, this brings me to my point of this written dialogue. I have been in a rewarding season of life. Not perfect, but definitely intentional. What is different... though my body is aging and my future remains uncertain, I seem to be finally trusting my Lord as I never have before. I have spent so much time diligently consumed with what my Lord wants from me, what is His will in my life, and how can I best know and prepare? These answers are fine in the quest to please Him, to know Him, but this journey need not be so complex or perplexing in nature:

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8 KJV

His mysteries are revealed:

"He reveals mysteries from the darkness And brings the deep darkness into light. Job 12:22

Yes He wants us to be doers, not just hearers of the word. Yes He is invested in every aspect of our lives, every breath is His, afterall. But without complete trust in His sufficiency and assurances in our lives, how are we going to be quiet, at peace, enough to receive Him or His revelations? After all, it is in Him only that all good things come to pass.

We know that no matter what, we are going to suffer in this world, and fretting about it is such a waste of time. Loss, pain, and struggle will happen to the just and the unjust. The difference from my simple minded understanding is that with God, our struggles help shine His Glory when we walk, waiting on Him, seeking Him, trusting in Him, resting in Him, no matter what!!!

I will lose loves that mean the world to me. If I am blessed with 30 more years, my body will become more and more challenged in functionality and appearance. I may never remarry, and may end up all alone in this world. I may find my circumstances leave me with no place to live, and I will probably know unimaginable pain in many different capacities, but still, with Him... there are pleasures forever more...

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalms 16:11 KJV

So let us wait on Him, allow Him in every component of our lives. Let's spend our time abiding in Him and His truth, leading with Him in mind, in all that we say and do. And really, while we are at work, we can, in our minds, allow Him to be the canopy, the hammock, and the anchor. Big sighs of comfort in receiving His assurances that we can take on His nature and apply it to our well-being.

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. Matthew 11:29

Yes trusting him can indeed be a challenge and it comes easier for some than others as well. I used to have trouble trusting him a couple years back at least to the extent I do now. It wasn't really since last year in my fifth year of being saved that I was able to just trust him instinctively, I mean don't get me wrong I worry and doubt and sometimes life can bring my trust him in to a down low but at the end of the day regardless of my worries and doubt I just know to keep moving forward knowing that he will guide me.

I often times in my minds eye see me walking, I see a brilliant horizon ahead of me that my legs keep moving towards, I often times wonder what my reason is for this existence, what my role is in his plan what my destiny is I don't know the answers but I know that it'abeyond that horizon I am walking towards. in my walking there is rocks and wind and all manners of things to distract me, make me stumble, and even make me stray from the path my feet were set upon but because my eyes are set only on that horizon I don't see the things that make me stumble after all how can one see the things on the earth if their eyes are set upon the sky? But in this little daydream of mine there is a strong hand on my back guiding me telling me to just keep my eyes on that horizon because he has my back and will guide me in what I cannot see.

For me this blind faith and this blind trust is this little day dream incarnate, I only know to keep moving forwards and regardless of anything that life brings or regardless of my own doubts and worries in the end I keep moving forwards because of how much I trust him,

Well said, thanks for reading and for sharing your insights.
