My family is embarking on a new chapter of our lives. We moved to Florida at the first of the month. There are a lot of new experiences we are facing, most of which require a significant amount of trust in the Lord.
The Bible tells us frequently to trust. One of those statements is found in Psalm 37:5-6:
Being a family with roots in the Bible Belt of the Midwest, Florida comes with a bit of culture shock. There are several things we will have to adjust ourselves to, including the weather.
But there are many things different here; the culture, the very mindset, is something new to us.
And so we are called to trust.
That can be very hard, especially when everything you know is 1000 miles away.
But when we trust, the psalmist says, God will make our righteousness shine.
Every time I’ve ever leaned on God, he draws the glory to himself. He displays himself through me.
Funny, isn’t it?
In what circumstances do you need to commit yourself to trusting God right now? You can leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
Congratulations on your move. Florida is definitely different than the midwest, but I know God has something wonderful for you there.
Right now I need to trust God with the direction of my ministry. He knows what is best and what He desires for me.
I also need to trust God with our son. He leaves tomorrow on a 4 week mission trip to Tanzania. I trust the Lord to take care of him and use him to touch lives in Tanzania. I am so proud of him for going on what will be a very physically, spiritually and emotionally demanding trip.
Thanks, Leah! We are looking forward to seeing what God does here in Florida. I expect it will be amazing!
Tanzania! Wow! That’s pretty exciting! I know that we are only a few years away from our kids starting to explore similar possibilities. Praying for you guys!
