Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path. 

– Psalm 119:105

Trust Your Father - Guest Blogger

Good morning!  I happened to be having one of those days recently when I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders.  There seem to be a lot of tests and trials in my road lately and I was delighted to come across this blog written by an especially lovely, middle lovely!  Her words just seemed to be the perfect reminder. Tessa is todays guest blogger and I have a feeling her words might bring peace to many.  She is a joyful, beautiful gentle young lady.  The only thing more guaranteed than her positive attitude is her steadfast faithfulness.
 

THIS is the day the LORD has made let us rejoice and be glad, in it.  Psalm 118:24
Science is not my greatest subject, too many weird names, numbers and, molecules! It was getting to be the end of the quarter, which meant a test was coming up, but not just any test, a test over the galaxy and space!  YIKES! I had stayed up late studying and worrying about the test the following day. Now it was time.
My teacher laid the thick packet of questions on my desk while he whispered,” Shh…” to the class.  Whoa! This just got real I whispered, while my palms began to sweat. I picked up the pencil and began to write and write.  Then I got to the question I had worried about the most of all, my eyes widened as I stared in fear. Then I glanced toward the crucifix above the door and thought, “What! I thought this test was hard, but compared to his sacrifice this is nothing!”  I continued and was very proud of my results! What I learned that day was very important, let God steer your life because only HE knows what to steer you to!
Worry is to joy what a vacuum cleaner is to dirt.  I have always tried to remind myself God’s got this as long as I put my full trust in his hands.  Well… sometimes stubbornness and worry creep up and it steals your peace, joy, and faith that God really does have your back even on those tough days.  We stress, we sin, we lose our trust.
Just admit it, we all make mistakes. That is exactly why God gave us his only son to die for our mistakes.  Do we ever take the time to thank the LORD and tell him we love and trust him? Do we worry about what tomorrow will bring?  What if I fail the test? What if I’m late for the meeting? What if, What if, What if. The LORD who created you, endured the pain of the cross, and set your sins free is already there for you next week, next year, next life waiting for you… so don’t worry.

A Seed to Plant: What do you need to trust God with?  Give him your stress and ask for his soothing peace.

Thank you Tessa; you're amazing!
​Blessings on your day
