Trust in Jesus

Stuff has continued to happen this week, but I praise the Lord for getting me through.

My supervisor scheduled my meeting with a client on the day after the accident happened last year. I didn't think anything of it when she first scheduled. The year anniversary of the accident, I went to two meetings I scheduled, not really seeing the significance. The town I had to go to was the same name of the person involved in the accident. It is a beautiful town, so beautiful it made think I ought to move there.

On my way home I got stuck in traffic and ditched the plans of my GPS. When I went to make a phone call through my car system, I wanted to say where I was coming from and where I was stuck. I looked at the sign where I was stuck at. That sign too had his name. It's only one Avenue in town that has his first name and I never noticed it until that moment.

The next day I attended the meeting my supervisor wanted me to cover and met with my client. His first name is the same as that person. Prior to meeting, I was up in the northern part of the city and the wrong way so I relied on the gps. Guess where it sent me?

You guessed it. That same Avenue that I was stuck at the day before.

But even with all of this, my thoughts and prayers had not stopped about this person. I cannot forget. Other stuff happened too but I won't dwell on it. All I know is that everything that has happened will be explained in the end. I don't know why what happened that day happened, but I know how to leave it in God's hands. He has given me peace and bravery to step outside my home. Jesus did that.

I don't know what you are going through, but no problem is too big for the Lord. If it weren't for His mercies, we would be consumed, destroyed, and removed by the devil. God is bigger than it.

May God bless you and may you continue to grow up in Christ, holding on to His hand and trusting in His power.

Here is what I read this morning from YouVersion:

God, today I dedicate my mind to you. I want to think on things that are good, right, pure, and excellent. I want to take captive any thoughts that aren’t from you. I want to remember your past faithfulness when I am tempted to doubt.

Today, I dedicate my eyes to you. I want to see others the way you see them. I want to view my circumstances through the lens of hope and faith. I want to look at life as one who is confident that you are with me.

Today, I dedicate my ears to you. I want to hear your voice above all the others clamoring for my attention. I want to listen to you and to honor others by listening well to them. 

Today, I dedicate my mouth to you. I want my words to be life-giving. I want to speak honestly and sincerely. I want to think before I speak. I want to let others have the last word.

Today, I dedicate my heart to you. I want my heart to be pure and undivided. I want to master my emotions, not serve them. I want my dreams and desires to please you.

Today, I dedicate my hands to you. I want to work hard at whatever I put my hands to. I want to touch others in love and goodwill. I want my hands to be open for whatever you want to give me and willing to release anything you want me to surrender.

Today, I dedicate my feet to you. I want to go wherever you send me. I want to walk toward the messes, not run from them. I want to stand firmly upon the truth and not stumble.

The most important relationship I have deserves my greatest expression of worship: a dedicated life.
