"He who trusts his own heart is a fool..." Proverbs 28:26a
Well, I'm certainly not a fool, am I? I didn't trust myself - I trusted Jesus to save me. But wait...
God promises to provide for all my needs. Do I worry (or even excessively plan) about the future?
He places a difficult, unexpected situation in front of me. Do I immediately search for a way to escape?
He says He forgives me. Do I choose to live in guilt and discouragement?
He sees the "big picture" and says He'll use everything - yes, everything - for my good. Do I rest in that?
Yikes. I am a fool. But in spite of myself, He chooses to love me, to forgive me, to pour His grace into my life. What else can I say but Thank You, Lord?
