Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
This scripture kept coming to me this morning as I walked and prayed. We had a great meeting last night with our new Pastor for Hispanic Ministry, Efrain Diaz. People from our church, our district and the North GA conference are all enthusiastic about the possibilities of our expanded Hispanic ministry. I confess that sometimes when things seem to be going really well, I find myself more anxious than when I face more direct challenges. That probably comes from times in my life when things seemed to be doing well only to take a sudden change to a very stressful time. We all go through those periods. That’s when we can only claim and live by scriptures such as the one above. In 1John 16:33 Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” If you are struggling with something today, take heart! Your savior understands and can help lead you into peace.
Gracious God, lead us today in your righteousness. Help us to submit our understanding to your greater wisdom. Help us to feel the guiding, loving and comforting presence of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
