Proverbs 16-18, 1 Cor. 7-8
Last Thursday and Friday, I attended a technical conference in DC. I learned a lot, but I was very intimidated by how much other people know. I realized that this type of fear is fundamentally driven by pride. I need to have faith and trust the Lord to lead me to where he wants me to be.
Yesterday morning, Greg challenged us from Micah 6:8 to know God's heart and act justly. He challenged us to do something about the injustices around us. Specifically, I was challenged to financially support evangelical agencies that provide clean water and sanitation.
Yesterday afternoon through this morning, I have been focusing on being joyful and trusting the Lord instead of being anxious and worried about what I'm supposed to be doing. I think I need to meditate on Prov. 3:5-6 and 16:3 and 9.
Heavenly Father, I love you, and I am sorry that my attention has been focused on my labor instead of my God. Lord, please forgive me and deliver me from fear and worry to faith and obedience. I pray that as your joy flows through me, I will be salt and light to the people around me. May I never forget that my vocation is simply a vehicle to bless others and make disciples. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
