Thoughts...

I really enjoyed last Wednesday night's Bible study class led by Roger Warner. There were 2 verses that I especially appreciated hearing again. I want to meditate on them in the next few days and think about applying them to my life.

"I know O Lord that a man's life is not his own. It is not for man to direct his own steps."
- Jeremiah 10:23

I think this verse is a good reminder that I need to let God lead my life in the direction that He wants it to go. God will show me what to do/where to go if I will just follow His lead. There is NO reason for me to spend so much time WORRYING about choices to make and the future if I put my trust in God to lead me and guide me to that place that He wants me to be.

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."
-2 Peter 1:2-4

This is another verse that tells us to rely on God. He will give us EVERYTHING that we need and he has promised us great things.

I need to meditate on these verses a while so that I can be assured that He will take care of me and provide for me what I need if I will rely on Him and follow His Word. I should be so relieved of the burden that I don't have to figure out everything by myself. Sometimes when I have something on my mind I feel like I can't sleep/relax until I get it solved. These verses give me assurance that I should trust God to take care of me and not feel like I have to do them on my own.

Any thoughts?
