"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Taking on 18 credit hours, having a job, and being heavily involved in a campus ministry really began to weigh on me. What had seemed would be a very exciting year, was looking to discourage instead.
Pleasing others and fulfilling their desires came first during that week of not being still, even with seemingly Christ-centered situations. I even went through a panic moment of asking God if everything I was a part of, if it all was even what I was supposed to be doing. Today, He calmed my heart and called me to the top of the Teachers College to view the desires of His heart, which He made known to me are what He's trying to embed into my own heart. My major, my community, all of these things that He has put into my way were quickly obscured by the darkness of the enemy, but the light of His mission trip for me lit up my quiet joy today.

What an encouragement to know that He is before all things. Therefore, He has already been where we are now. God is literally walking us along a path that He has already gone through. What a reassurance that none of it is new to Him. He knows what He's doing! Simply trust. |
