"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8
It never ceases to amaze me how perfect God's timing is. As I sat in my friend's mountain house this past weekend surrounded by an example of God's beautiful creation in nature, I couldn't help but feel drawn to pray. I noticed one of my favorite devotion books sitting on my friend's living room table so I decided I would open it up to the devotion assigned to the day.
As a senior in High School, the past few months have been filled with anxiety and worry because I am in the waiting period for hearing back from the many colleges to which I applied. I am definitely a planner and the activities for each of my weeks are laid out in my school agenda. However, the message in the devotion really made me pause and think about why I am so filled with anxiety. While I may be simply trying to figure out my future so I can feel at peace, I am actually grasping at things that are His. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting His promises to care for me.
I really needed to hear God's word reminding me to hold his hand in trusting dependence because He will guide us through our days. God's timing is better than any plan I could ever write out in my agenda, and I am thankful for reminders of this in God's word.
