"For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:10

I'm reading Habakkuk and have been studying it in depth for several days now. It's a very interesting book!

"I want you to be all mine. I am weaning you from your other dependencies. Your security rests in Me alone -- not in other people, not in circumstances." - Jesus Calling


"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
Deuteronomy 33:27

His will

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord"
-Isaiah 55:8

Do you ever want something so badly that you decide it must be meant for you? I have and it's so rediculous that I just go out and plan my own day and my own will when I know that God's plan for me is so much better than my plans for me. God knows what is best for us because He created us.

I have to trust Him with my life even thought at times I really don't want to. At times, I think I know what is best for me, but I don't know my future, God knows my future, and He has better in store for me. That is what the Bible tells us and that I have to trust.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

trust

If we trust God with our lives then -and only then - we will have peace.

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ"
Philipians 4:7
