food for thought

at any stage in life everything is uncertain. 
i am learning the true meaning of faith and leaning not on my own understanding...
i pray for clarity and discernment at this time of life and that i do not listen to my own evil wants and desires. God protect me from myself.

these verses have been encouraging reminding me that God's will will be done.

"remember the former things, those of long ago; i am God, and there is no other; i am God, and there is none like me. i make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. i say: my purpose will stand, and i will do all that i please. from the east i summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. what i have said, that will i bring about; what i have planned, that will i do."
Isaiah 46:9-11

"so abraham called the name of that  place, "The Lord will provide", as it is said to this day, "on the mount of the Lord it shall be provided"
Genesis 22:14

the very heart of the gospel is realizing that God did not simply provide a sacrifice for us bu instead of us. that is the good news. there is only one way to receive it after we have understood it--with profound humility and gratitude. maybe even on our knees...
