"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. "
Hebrews 11:1
This is my verse for 2011. I am reminded almost daily of the fact that my time and plans are just silly attempts at self importance. And I'm just not that important. Shocking I know. The fact is only God's timing and plan are worth serving, worth sacrificing for. His plan will not change, His timing is perfect. So that countdown on my Google homepage that says 15 hours and 11 minutes till Belgium well that would be a Cynthi timeline not a God one. In my rush to figure it all out, plan every last detail I forgot who I was actually going to Belgium for. To bring glory to my God. To make His name famous. He who called me is making a way for us, I can't always see that way but that's okay.
So that's where Hebrews 11:1 comes in. "...assurance about what we do not see." I have assurance that the God who I hope in has prepared this journey even before He spoke this earth into creation. He alone is in control. He alone deserves my hearts desire. It is the best place to be, trusting and following God even when I can't see the next step. I know He does so I will boldly and humbly follow His lead as a new year dawns.
I am excited about what God will do in 2011. I am ecstatic about how He will accomplish it and most of all I eagerly look forward to seeing who He will put in our lives to make this journey happen. Thank you Father for your love, mercy, faithfulness and protection. Most of all thank you for your Son, whose blood has made me free!
