When it comes to lunch during the week, I usually end up eating at my desk after running out some where quick to grab something. Not very exciting and probably not very good for my mental health!
Every once in while I'll bring my own lunch. Sure, it's more healthly and it saves money, but probably my biggest reason is that it saves me time in needing to leave the office to go get something. I know...back to that mental health issue. We can talk more about that later.
The problem is I can't stand making a lunch to pack. Not that it's hard or even takes a lot of time. I'm just a sandwich and chips type of guy. For some reason I just can't stand doing it.
Today Holli (my wife) said she would pack my lunch and I was thrilled. Seems a simple gesture on her part, but a BIG deal to me. As I opened my lunch today I found a card that she must have purchased in the past. On one side it had a verse from Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed". Then, on the other side was a quote from Corrie Ten Boom and it said "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God".
The timing of this card could not have been better. She even wrote a small note that simply said "Thought this was perfect for you today". Last night I was talking with Holli and telling her about my fears and some uncertainties that I had about the future and where God was trying to lead me. These fears and anxieties are specifically related to this thing I keep calling Vortex Ministry. She encouraged me and we prayed together and I felt released and had a fantastic evening. Getting this card today was just the icing on the cake.
We really do serve a God that loves us and wants the best for us. He wants to lead us and reveal the purpose and plan that we were created for.
Do you ever ponder over your plans? Do you involve God in the planning? I think He is just waiting for people to take a step of faith and stand up for Him and the plans that He has. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to discern God's will and follow that. I am trying to commit everything I do to the Lord and by faith I know things will work out. The end result may not be exactly as I see it, but if I constantly try and follow the will of God, I know it will be perfect.
How about you?
