Be My Everything

Moments are fleeting. There are moments that we will remember forever. There are moments that we will soon forget. Time is elusive. It is ever passing. Ticking away, never to return.


The question that has stuck in my mind for months is...

Would I be okay today if I died doing this?

This past weekend, my grandmother passed away. My dear friends father-in-law passed away. My close friends Aunt passed away.

At church on Sunday, we heard the regrets that people have when they died. There are so many of them. Too often in life we put things off that we want to do and just do things that we don't have to do. We choose things out of obligation or guilt.

That question has put a lot of my life in perspective. If I choose to do and live in a way that glorifies God then he will provide all I need. But only what I need for that day.

Do I trust Him in that?


The Israelite's had no choice while they were in the desert for 40 years, but to trust God. He provided food for them daily, manna in the morning and quail at night.

I want to live that way. I want to live expecting God to provide what I need for the day. I want to trust Him that much.

And if that means I give up my second job, then so be it.
If it means that I give up eating out, so be it.
If that means saying no more, so be it.
If I have to surrender my wants every day for His, so be it.


That trust is worth it. 
I want God to be my fulfillment. 
I want Him to be my source.
I want Him to be my everything.
