Trust the One Who Actually Knows the Future

 Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.
Let’s be honest, none of us really knows what is going to happen in the future. We have a rough idea at times but really do you know exactly everything that is going to happen even in the next minute?
God does. So why do we go through life winging it? Why would we go a second trusting ourselves and our limited understanding?
No matter how it looks to us God as a loving Father desires to put us in the best and safest place. He is also there telling us everything that we need to do. Problems come when we don’t listen or don’t do what He says when and how He says it. Like being lost in the forest and instead of listening to an experienced guide you decide to find your own way even though you nothing about the forest.
When we lean on the limited knowledge we have instead of the limitless knowledge He has we get ourselves into trouble. These verses are not about us mindlessly being controlled by God. They are the keys to success.

These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
