The past few months have been a journey for me... about learning how to trust deeply in my Saviour and thus obey Him.
This week I returned from Insane. For those of you who don't know what that was, Insane was a Territorial Salvation Army youth camp. As I went to this camp the week before, I was filled with so many angsts and worries about my future, especially in regards to employment. I have always told myself not to worry about those kinds of things, and in Matthew Jesus tells us not to worry, but unfortunately I let it get to me. And as soon as I did.... all these decisions I HAD to make started to build up making me more and more stressed.
So during that week, I decided I would wait upon God for his answer to my problems.
The answer didn't come on Monday.
Or Tuesday.
Or Wednesday
Or Thursday.
Or Friday.
I was despairing at this point.. but still I waited.
It wasn't until Saturday that the Lord answer me loud and clear with what He wanted me to do. I already knew what it was, but I was waiting for some sort of confirmation.
And then it came. Simple. Clear. Obvious. God used another person to bring his answer to me. For some people... it may not have seemed like much... to others it might have been a shock, but to me it was what I had been waiting for all week.
And so now, I feel incredibly blessed. Blessed to have been given the answer I sought. Now I can say that I am certain of God's will for my life. When I think about the journey I have been on these past months and the point at which I have come to now... I cannot help but think of the words to the song "Trust and Obey" and how true they are for me.
But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
For the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
