Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5
ESV
Two desires planned... or in the hoped-to-be-planned stage... before the impromptu blessing of the move-in occurred...
1) The eight week study with sisters... in my home... something desired for years... but this was the first time the elements seemed to fall into place for it to happen...
2) The hope of having a few days away with my husband... an anniversary trip... somewhere new for both of us...
The needs of the elder-in-law made each seem questionable... yet the study was already advertised... and by faith... I acknowledged that God knew all this was coming when He made the way... I went with it... commited my way to Him... trusted... and waited for Him to act...
Within two weeks of the study... help was in place to be present with my father-in-law during the study... but the week before... the help's son had chest pain that led to open heart surgery... the sure help seemed unsure... still I did not cancel... did not reschedule... I waited for Him to act...
He did... help in place... and the study joy-full...
The trip... however... still not settled... no reservations... some help in place... less than a week to ETD... but... I'm choosing to trust... other times I would have rather canceled then withstood the uncertainty... I would have driven my husband crazy with prodding to choose... manipulated myself into a tizzy...
Yet today... I see another opportunity for Him to act... the signs are in place... joy and excitement in my heart... instead of frustration and anxiety... prompts from God on how to deal with the daily posts of the menu... surely He is at work... so I continue to roll and trust...
The doing of this exercise... the implanting of this word... has begun to grow a peace and trust that has been absent most of my adult life...
For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
Psalm 33:4
What word have you implanted lately... in your heart... in your life?
Have you seen the fruit of implanted word... experienced transformation?
