My God: Faithful

I spent the first 20 days of this year shutting off social media and different distractions that have kept me from spending time with God. I found myself always finding something to look up or something to read instead of praying and instead of spending time in the word of God.

During that time I also started the first day in my new position and with the fast now over I have realized that God was revealing to me where He wants my focus to be in every area of my life and especially at this job. My dependence is solely on Him. Without God I will fail. Period. Put God first and watch Him move on your behalf.

I turned off Facebook and Instagram and spent more time with God at work and at home in my personal time. I prayed before seeing patients and before going into meetings. I prayed for patients, I encouraged them to not give up on their faith in God. I prayed before speaking, I prayed for others like I was praying for myself. And you know what...I loved every minute. I didn't miss being preoccupied with someone else's life because I finally realized how great mine is. I am exactly where God wants me to be in this season.

God is too good to be a second thought. Spend time with Him and watch how He will blow you away!!!

Fear

All too often we allow fear to control us. We allow the unknown and the uncomfortable to keep us from elevating to where God has for us to go.

What if you stopped worrying and started trusting God?

What would it look like if God had to comfort you less because you trusted Him more?

What if you took a step in faith and allowed God to use you in a new place?

Ever wonder what you're missing by not trusting God?
