John 14:1-4 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."
Wow God's timing is great and always blows me away. Just arrived in Miami late last night and found out at 2am that one of my student lost something very important possibly on the plane or the bus that brought us from the airport. Then I read this verse this morning. "Let not your heart be troubled", which also could read "Let not your heart be agitated, or disturbed, or thrown into confusion." Wow isn't God good, He always speaks right to the heart of the matter. Trusting Him always takes being intentional, always takes action on my part. I don't know what is going to happen, I have no idea, my hope and prayer is that just as easily as it was lost we will find it. But whatever happens I hope that through it all I will trust God and not let my heart be troubled. Today as I face the uncertainty of it, I pray that I will keep my focus on the one thing that really matters, Jesus. It's funny but as I have been praying for this week in Miami my prayer is that with every circumstance I will see it as God working and trying to teach me.
Father teach me today to more fully trust you and to follow hard after you today. You are good and thank you for the promise you have shown today that you are in control and will work it out. Keep my eyes fixed on you and what you want to do in my life and the students lives.
