“Trust in the Lord” is my new word or phrase for 2024. I want 2024 to be a year where I trust less in myself and trust more in God.
God wants to lead me through this new year. I know that and I also know He will only lead me where it is safe to go. He will not tell me to do things or lead me to go in directions that are dead ends.
The issue for me is being willing to follow Him. God cannot lead me where I will not follow. For me to follow Him I need to trust Him with my whole heart. I need to trust Him with my money, my time, my family, my health, etc. I have an understanding of how these things ought to be handled. My goal this year is to trust the Lord and understand how He wants these things handled. How can I call Him Lord of my life and still trust in myself, to run my life.
I need to trust that He knows what is best for me, at all times and in all situations. I need to trust in His love more. My love relationship with Jesus is built on trust. If I cannot trust Him, will I be able to feel His love?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
