Fully trust.

MORNING THOUGHTS☕️

Happy Monday! We’re back home from a very productive weekend on the land. Our little RV SPOT is taking shape!

I was reading in Joshua 22 how one of the tribes…after being rescued out of slavery and then allotted and given land…decided to “stop and build a large and imposing altar.” The people around them asked…”how could you turn away from the Lord and build an altar for yourself in rebellion against him!?”

When I read that…my first thought is how easy it can be to do. You know…trust and follow the Lord up to a certain point but then…take matters into your own hands and build something in “the new” out of your own strength.

I’ve had to watch out for this myself.

God’s clearly doing a NEW THING in our lives…requiring a new level of trust and reliance on Him…and there are moments where I can start to “take things into my own hands” and build something I’ve thought up or that I think might be a good idea during this season.

Yeah. I’m not at the stage of life where I want to build anything in my own strength or because it’s a “good idea.” I want to walk forward daily, with the Lord, and see what HE has for us in this next season…not what we can drum up or add to or build with our own hands.

I have such a sense that we will DISCOVER what’s next..not CONJURE UP what’s next. You know…build an altar in our own strength kind of thing.

If you’re walking into the new…be careful and resist building from the old. Let the Lord reveal it all in His time. Let the new story unfold. Don’t grab things with your own two hands and make things happen just to give yourself a false sense of security.

Fully trusting means FULLY trusting.
