The year I spent studying the life of Moses, I decided I have this unfortunate condition. I like to take things into my own hands and panic, while God calls me to trust Him and have faith in His promises. Just like the Isrealites…complain, whine, fear, slander, and forget God’s faithfulness in all areas of their lives. I am really good at doing all of those. So many unknowns are waiting for me even in the next 2 days. I am nervous. I’ve been so adamant about savoring each moment in my life, yet I throw it all away when there is something to panic about. So, I want to enjoy my evening and trust Abba with the unknowns and worries of tomorrow.
Tonight, I have lots to be thankful for and enjoy: warm house, food, a working washer and dryer to wash clothing, my little corner of very special Christmas decorations that have been passed to me from my grandma, my freshly groomed, skinny shih tzu with a clean bill of health to cuddle up next to me. God is gracious!
