Yesterday turned out to be an odd and confusing day. I was looking forward to a counseling session in the afternoon. The ones involved had made great strides. I was wanting to hear and see how the past week had been. 20 minutes into the session’s time no one had arrived so I text to find out they weren’t coming. No excuse and a short statement that they would likely not be returning. A thanks was included for all of the help. Later in the afternoon (early evening) there was to be a meeting. I arrived to find the room empty, door locked (I had a key so I went in to find nothing was set up for a meeting). I text the leader to find the meeting had been cancelled. These two items left me wondering what I’d done that I didn’t know I’d done?

As I awoke quite early this morning I arose and began my devotions. In so doing I asked Jesus what He wanted me to know for today while I journaled. His response was just what I needed to hear. He reminded me that He is the God of clarity. When He speaks/nudges I know what I’m to do. Satan, on the other hand, is the author of confusion/deception. Everything about the two items of yesterday left me with nothing but confusion. I should simply leave them alone. I can thank God the couple has come a long ways and that I had time at home last night I didn’t expect to have.

The other thing that was very clear in this morning’s devotional message was Jesus is KING of kings. When we have Jesus in our lives as we do it doesn’t make us KING. Christ within us gives us the opportunity to embody His characteristics. Worry is not one of Christ’s characteristics. Trust, on the other hand, is what Christ modeled for us and He wants me modeling this same characteristic for Him. So, my assignment is clear!
