Recently I have been struggling through something that I haven't been permitted to share with anyone because it has been God's battle alone. The one thing I am learning through my walk with God is that when His hands are actively in something, there is little for us to do. Everything we try we fail at, or it doesn't work out. We try to figure out solutions that just give us headaches and lack of sleep. God wants us to rest in knowing that He will give us directions as needed. God has a plan for our lives. Our life has a purpose and grand design already attached to it, and if we stay connected to the source of our being we can't help but grow in comfort, trust, and ultimately rest in the Lord and His/Its Divine plan for our lives. Yesterday, My struggle reached a breakthrough to coming to an end, after weeks of what I thought would resolve itself in a few days has now required me to do something that in the back of my mind says"Impossible" but God said "IM Possible" I spent the entire day with the deadline of less than 24hrs and with my back against the wall and the clock ticking; I reach a point of total frustration and exhaustion. I did all I could do with still certain items missing I couldn't see straight or think straight to even figure out what to do next. at 11 pm God said, "go to bed."Go to bed??? i thought, no way. I have wayyyyy too much to do and I still have clients, a website, youtube, and much more. How can I go to bed now when I don't have all the documents ready to be emailed first thing in the morning? After God mentioned it a couple more times, while the baby screamed and the dog barked, the TV screamed and the ferret running wild, I decided to listen to God and just prayed and went to bed. When I woke up this morning. I get rejuvenated, clear-minded. The house was quiet and clean and I was able to find everything I needed as well as get the email out on time without any issues. Resting in God allowed me NOT to carry the frustration I was feeling further than needed. God already knew what I needed, where it was, and by me doing something that didn't make sense to my natural mind (going to sleep with a deadline approaching) Instead I trusted what God said, Allowed Him to show up and show out so that what I had to do came easy and I am now closer to the end of this storm. God wants us to pay attention to Him, Trust Him, read His word and get familiar with how sons and daughters of a king are supposed to live. When we allow God to be LORD over our lives, we don't have to work so hard. We can rest in knowing that We don't have to have it figured out or know the answers, as long as we KNOW the ONE who KNOWS ALL we can ride this life living it to the full and until it overflows.
( John 10:10 A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.)
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
