I have spent this morning reading "Echoes of Mercy" by Nancy Alcorn. Its been so encouraging. It amazes me as I read it just how faithful and good God is. Its easy to forget how awesome God is in our day to day life. But we can trust him supply all of our needs. He is so creative about how he supplies our needs, we really can't set a formula for it. I would encourage you today to take out a piece of paper, date it and list your needs. Pray that God will answer your needs in his way and time. I have done this so many times and it very helpful to look back upon it months later and see how faithful God is. They don't always get answered the way I think they will, but his way is better. Some of them I am still waiting for, but his timing is perfect. I often get tempted to take things into my own hands. My mom often calls me a Jacob, wrestling with God. She advises me to learn now while I am young that God knows better than I do. I agree but it is so hard to do! So here is a major worry of mine that I have been trying to figure out in my power and wisdom. I have no idea what to do with my life as a career. At the age of 24 I am completely lost! I feel like such a failure. I have friends who are getting their masters degrees or married with kids. Here I am starting at square one...... again! So I am lifting my concerns for my future career with God. After all he created me for a special purpose and plan on this earth. I am not a mistake. Even though sometimes I feel he took the left over scraps of other humans and made me. I am choosing to declare Psalm 139:13&14 over my life "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
I hope that verse encourages you. God created you, and he will direct your path and provide for your needs along the way. Praise the Lord!
