Known

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. 
Psalm 139:1a

When we feel unknown, we can rest in the truth that we are known. We are thoroughly, fully, minutely known, for who we are, what we are doing and how we are doing. Even when you have no clue how you're doing. That is the beauty of our God.

He knows the desires of our hearts.

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
 Psalm 20:4


Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

And as you can see, he wants to give them to us. All throughout the old testament, God gives men the desires of their hearts, when they are doing it with the right motives and even when they do not. Yet, God still honors those. Lately, I've been trying to figure out what the desire of my heart is. Since I was 10 years old, I thought I was going to be a lawyer. Have lots of money and be able to do real ministry later on down the road. Of course, being a lawyer is a ministry in it of itself, but I've always wanted to be a speaker. And even though it seems like I get worse and WORSE at speaking as I get older, I still would love to do that. Let's be real, that's ministry. Not law. Who knows. God is in control. If I'm supposed to go to law school, he'll provide the money, the way and what school I should go to. If it's ministry, I have no idea where I'm going to start, but he'll show me that path too. Oh, if only God would point me in a specific direction. What a relief that would be. But this is faith strengthening. I just gotta keep remembering that :) Go God!




Take a jump. 
Leap into the unknown. 
You don't need to know. 
'Cause God does.
