Absolute Peace

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt



Lord (I Don't Know) - Newsboys


Over the past week I have been claiming this verses, proclaiming them over my life and some stuff that is happening in my life at the moment.  And God has given me this absolute peace about the future and the things that I am working through at the moment.  He has assured me that everything is going to work out no matter what has happened or is going to happen.  Proclaim these verses and God will give you peace.

Waiting

We all get told to wait on God and what he is going to do in our lives, and for some situations I can completely agree with this, but there are times where we need to take a leap of faith and take a stab in the dark.  We can't just sit around waiting for God to do something because that isn't faith, faith is living God's word.  It's putting the commandments in the Bible into action.  The commandments like trust me, don't be afraid, love one another as I love you.  We need to trust God and we can't be scared because God has everything in control.  We may not understand, but we need to trust.  This is something that I'm discovering at the moment with some stuff that is happening in my life.  I have found great comfort in the the bible verse Proverbs 3.5-6 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  But in all your ways commit to him and he will make your paths straight.'   Over the past couple of weeks the part about not leaning on your own understanding has been brought into a new light for me.  I don't understand what is happening or what is going to happen, but I can trust God.  He knows why everything is happening and what is going to happen, but while he reveals to me his plan for my life and what is going to happen in the future,  I need to step out in faith and put my words into actions, because without actions, my faith is nothing.
