Have you ever been in a position where you get up everyday and don't know how to do what you are suppose to do. Not maybe one or two things you need to do that day, but everything you need to do everyday you really don't know what you should do or how to do it. It quickly creates a lot of stress and worry. Ok, just being honest here. We know "Trust God" and He will take care of it." So easy to say - not always so easy to make the knot in your stomach go away. After several months of this day after day it begins to wear on you. Not just mentally but physically.
So, what's the answer? To make the Words in that Book called the Bible come off the page and be real. Sounds so easy doesn't it. We are being forced to rely on Him as never before in our lives. Sure wish this learning was easier. Many times when there is a knock at our door we would prefer not to answer. Not because we don't want the interruption. Not because we don't want to talk with people. But 90% of the time we know there is going to be a question, request, or problem on the other side of that door. And we are not going to know what to do or what is the best thing to do for that person or for the situation. To be honest, these things happen so frequently, that many times we try to handle them without consulting the One who would be of the most help.
We keep thinking we should be able to handle this or that and we will consult God for the bigger things. We guess the truth is, even what we are seeing as the little things are part of the big things. If this is going to work and be what God wants we are going to have to consult Him on everything. This will require us having the courage and the confidence to say "I can't make a decision about that right now. I need to talk with God and see what He wants done." Even with what may seem like insignificant things.
We could use some prayer here because it wears us down. Not our commitment to God and where He has directed us but physically it wears on you. Anybody have a special "spiritual pill" for this situation?
