Lately I've been thinking far too much about things that are far away (okay, maybe not the farthest away, but still...). Things like: Once I graduate, should I even go to college? Is it worth it? And if I do, what do I even major in?! Psychology? Linguistics? Or should I become a missionary? With all of these thoughts flowing through my mind, I then remembered something: God has this all planned. I don't need to worry. He knows better than me, and all I need to do is trust Him. Of course, that's easier said than done, but I feel like He's slowly revealing to me what He wants me to do in the future. He's revealing the gifts and talents He has given me. It's pretty hard to be patient, but I know that I would so much rather do what He will call me to do, than to just choose what I think is best, and I know it probably would not turn out well. Giving God everything, all your worries, is not something that's easy to do. But we don't need to worry. Like Jesus said in Matthew 6:25-34:
'25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.'
We should focus on what we're doing now, and the future will come in its time. We can be sure God will make things clear. It might not be right now, but He will when He feels it's best.
Psalm 32:8 - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
