Lord, I want to know You

 

I honestly don't know what God is up to in my life.

And just when I think I might have a clue,

 things get turned upside down again

and I just think to myself, "plot-twist".

I struggle with this because I'm such a planner

and its downright scary to feel like

 I'm flying by the seat of my pants into the wind.

 

But this is a place for my faith to grow,

and I am learning that when, not if, the plot-twists come, to say,

"Okay, Lord, I'm sure glad You see the big picture and are guiding me to the best".

 

I am learning so much about the character of God as I lean into His promises.

I know that He does not change and I know that He does not lie,

so I am hanging on to what He has said He is,

 and what He has said He does and will do.

 

I am reading through the scriptures this year using an app called "She Reads Truth".

It has a read the Bible in a year plan and helps me keep track of my progress.

As I read, I jot down in my journal anything I find in the passage

that speaks to the character of God (who He is or what He does) or

reveals the promises of God (what He says He will do).

 

God is, God will, God hears, God provides, God blesses, God knows, God gives.

 

Lord, I want to know You, live my life to show You, all the love I owe You,

I'm a seeker of Your heart.
