Taken from my spiritual journal:
One thing that I've been asking God for this summer is direction. Direction to where I want God wants me to go in life. This summer raised questions and uncertainties in my life like school, relationships, and work. I feel today the Lord reassured me that he has a plan for me and that everything is under His control. Not mine. Three different passages from three different sources were shown to me today:
The first was shown to me by my friend Simon. Matthew 6:25-34.The passage sums up to say, "Do not worry. You mean SO MUCH to God. He WILL provide for you." I looked at it thinking okay, God will provide me with finances, a loving wife (Hey I'm only 19, but yeah I think about it), and food and shelter.
The next verse was sent to me through a Twitter text message (follow @ DailyVerseTweet for Bible verses on your Twitter). The verse of the day was Numbers 23:19. I put that verse into my own words: God doesn't lie. Sure, God may delay a promise, but He will still keep it to the very end. God reveals truth through His Word. Does it not say in the Bible that He WILL provide? I don't know when, how much, or what, but I do know it will happen. I have yet to see or hear of a broken promise from God.
The last verse was BibleGateway's Verse of the Day for September 3rd (I wrote my journal past midnight which is why I got the September 3rd verse). It was Isaiah 48:17. The Lord will lead me to where He wants me to go. He will lead me to a job, a woman fit for my standards, and He will give me the necessities needed for daily living.
How do I know that? It says so in the Bible. The Bible is His Word and His Word is the truth. As our Father, God cares for us so much. He WILL provide in ways more than you think. Maybe you're just oblivious to it. Maybe my future wife is already a friend of mine. I don't know, but God does.
Where does it say in the Bible that God cares for us? Many places, but here are a few that stand out: John 3:16, 1 Peter 5:7, Luke 12:6-7.
