Trusting God

A few weeks ago I found my future wedding dress. It is absolutely gorgeous! I knew I was supposed to be trusting God about my future husband, but I was not doing it. Instead I was impatient for the time when I would meet him. I was afraid of becoming an old maid. Then I realized that if God had provided the dress, than He in his own good time would provide the man.

I have found that trusting God brings peace and contentment. I am content to now wait patiently for my future husband. It is not always easy to trust Jehovah for things we want to happen now. But, if you do trust God all the worry and anticipation about who your future husband will be will not be there or it will not be as bad. I am not saying it is wrong to wonder who he maybe- we all do that- what I am saying is that we need to trust the One who has our future in his hands. We cannot speed God up.

My friends, do not be afraid of being single all your life. I still struggle with that fear, but then I look at what a single woman can be to others. She can be a second mother to other peoples children so the mother can be doing a few fun tasks while you watch them. Her focus will be more on God than on her husband.

Now you can see the blessings marriage and singleness bring.We must trust God in all things. This is just one thing we can trust him in. Let us be able to say "thy will be done" through our lives. Let go of the dreams you had for your life and follow the plan God has laid down for you and don't follow the worlds lie of success. He is always in control.

Praise to Jehovah!
