There is so much on my mind this morning that God is working to have me let Him have control of them. Kathy and I are going to look at a vehicle the salesman says is just the one. Yet, there is one item about it which I like, but Kathy is pretty sure she doesn’t like. Yesterday I got a call from a friend who last Spring said some of the ugliest things to me from his wife to Kathy. I won’t go into the reasons why, but the stroke Kathy had changed some things about her personality which caused this “friend” to never want to see her again. Well, now what happened then, is as though it didn’t take place and we are to be “best friends” all over again. In addition to this, I talked to the young man last night at Celebrate Recovery regarding the book study. He was OK with it, but one knows it is just to please me.
I was journaling about all of this to Jesus earlier and asked what i’m to do? It was amazing to hear The Spirit’s voice say, “Live for me this day. Do what I have for you to do today. When tomorrow comes you will know what to do with what is before you. The situation with the friends will come about on Monday and that day you will know what to say/do.” Instantly, upon writing this in my journal, I had a “deep settled peace in my soul”. I knew I could simply trust Jesus and His Holy Spirit to lead me one day at a time. My role is to respond to what I’m to do in the day I’m nudged. Pretty simple, yet for me–profound WISDOM. I then wrote in my journal–Jesus, Your Holy Spirit is nothing but WISDOM. I need to be a good listener and then a good responder to it.
Oh, how I wanted to handle each of these situations differently. I wanted to convince them of the importance I see. However, God wants me to be patient so what is seen is Him completing His Work. Another lesson to learn!
