Remembering God's Provision

God leads and directs my life.

“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT)

Life is full of choices. Decisions must be made on a daily basis. Some of them are small. Many of them are big. The sum of them all can create stress, anxiety, and an underlying sense of ongoing worry. But that doesn’t have to be our story. God will direct the steps of our life.

I am 48 years old, and I am still learning to trust God’s direction in my life. I’m learning patience when He asks me to wait and courage when He tells me to move. The greatest lesson I’m learning, though, is that He doesn’t stop directing when I don’t hear Him correctly or things unravel. For too many years, I’ve lived paralyzed by the fear that my decisions could mess something up. Since God leads and directs our lives, we get to take risks, let go, and trust His process.

As you walk with God throughout your day today, notice the many decisions you make. Practice talking with God about all of them. What do you want to remember about His leadership in your life?

Our Father, we have chosen to spend some time remembering You, Your care, Your instruction, and Your invitations. Where would we be without You? When we take time to pause and remember who You are to us, what You’ve done for us, and how You’re always inviting us into more, we can’t help but give thanks. Keep on caring, teaching, and inviting, because we don’t want to miss out on abundant life with You. Since You are always giving, we promise to remember. Amen.
