Walk if You Want; I’ll Ride

July 11th, 2014

Either the Bible is True or it Isn’t

Something I wrote today:

Last week, I got a word from God, and it was simply this: “I’m going to be all right.”

A few years back I took Jesus at his word and pretty much gave up planning for my future. I decided to wait for him. I knew God was faithful, but worry still came to me, and other people, thinking they were being helpful, fanned the flames.

Remembering the many times God had shown me he would not drop me, I refused to be moved, but my sense of security was not perfect. The word God sent me helped me become stable.

Because I trusted, my future is planned, and it’s not a foolish plan from the mind of man. Family, money, health, activities…it’s all laid out before me like a highway, waiting for me to walk forward and possess it.

The Jews have a saying: “Man plans; God laughs.” I will not let unbelief cause me build a rickety, crooked track for my life.

    I guess that’s the challenge I’m facing right now. Faith vs. prudence. Looking at the potential loss of a job, and being forced to move. Faith that God will provide, but understanding that, since I don’t really know WHAT exactly his plan will be/is, I need to at least conduct prudent planning for the worst case scenario.

    I have absolute faith that His will will be accomplished. However, I have historically been really bad at determining what that will IS, until I’m already hip-deep in it!

    The farther I go on this journey, the more I realize I have to learn to sit back and take my hands off things. God made me a very smart guy, with a number of talents, but I am beginning to realize that none of that is very important.

    You and me both. I quit a safe corporate job to write a book He put on my heart to create.

    With my wife’s enthusiastic support, we’ve sold our house (at a profit, thank God) and now we cruise the country in an RV, promoting the book and meeting all sorts of people along the way.

    I have no idea what’s going to happen next. And I’m OK with that.
