Lately I don't think I've been living consistently with that message. God is Sovereign. God is in control. God does as He wills in His time. I know these things. I don't always live as if I know these things.
I've written about doubt before. What I'm learning is that doubt is not the opposite of faith. The opposite of faith is doing things myself. Or trying to make things happen myself.
In this season of our lives, I've been wondering what I need to be doing. Do I just sit and wait? Do I look and explore? WHAT DO I DO?
And I don't feel that it has been well with my soul.
So, this week, God taught me (again) to be where I am. This is what my calling is now. I don't need to go looking around for what's next. This is my next. (I know. I've written about this before. I'm a slow learner.)
It has been well. I feel a weight lift off.
I am listening and waiting. I'm doing what I know God has called me to do. I do new things when they open up.
And now I'm going to stop trying to pry things open myself.
It is well with my soul.
