Anything is possible with God. He has proved Himself over and over, so why do we doubt or worry about the future?
Sarah laughed when God told her she would have a baby in her old age. But in Genesis 21 we read:
“The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as He had promised. And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.” (Genesis 21:1-2 ESV). Notice ‘as He had said’ and ‘as He had promised.’ He keeps His word.
We are in the midst of deciding how to school our oldest through high school. The Lord led us to her grammar school, so why do I worry that He won’t lead us to her high school?
In Psalm 107 we read about troubled times people go through or foolish mistakes people make, yet over and over Psalm 107 repeats:
“Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
For the wondrous works to the children of man!” (Psalm 107:8)
He is faithful.
In Mark 8 Jesus tells his disciples plainly that He will go to the cross. Peter argues with what he hears and Jesus rebukes him:
“But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said ‘Get behind me Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” (Mark 8:32-33)
Satan likes to whisper and cause us to doubt that God keeps His words, means what He say, is faithful and loves us. We need to set our mind on things of God in all of our decision making. This includes decisions like education. We should not get distracted by the influences of others or in face of what seems like an overwhelming decision. We cannot see the future. But He can. He is already there. Pray and trust Him for the answer.
Lord,
Help us to trust You in the decisions of our lives, both big and small. You are true to Your word and know what is yet to come for our good.
Amen,
Kellie
