Hello everyone....it's been a while, I know but email access has been rather sporadic lately. I think I'll switch to a weekly devotional for the next few weeks until I'm done travelling.
Anyway, I found this devotional to be especially relevant in my life right now, as I have been travelling to different places for graduate school interviews. I'm a fairly low maintenance individual, so it doesn't take much to make me happy. Consequently, I've come out of every interview really excited about that particular school, which isn't going to make my final decision very easy. In the past few months I've spent a lot of time praying for God to show me where he wants me to be and what he wants me to do after graduation but I still feel somewhat lost at times.
Intellectually, I know that God has promised to take care of me and that I just have to submit myself and he will show me the way but it's not always easy for me to really trust God unconditionally. I've been learning a lot about faith and trust in the past few weeks but what it really comes down to is prayer and development of our personal relationship with God. However much fellowship and group study I do, I've found that you can't sacrifice your one-on-one time with God. He has plenty of time for us and will show us the way if we have faith and make time for him.
If you don't already, I challenge you to spend at least 15-20 minutes every day in personal quiet time with God. If you want to know more about different ways to develop this relationship, let me know-- I'd be happy to talk to you because personally, I always feel like I'm missingsomething when I don't take this time on a daily basis.
Have a blessed week!
