"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet...."



PSALM 119:105 "They Word is a lamp unto they feet and a light unto they path."

Yes...I know most of you already know this passage of scripture like the back of your hand, but yesterday I had a new revelation of what this scripture REALLY means. It states clearly that, God's word is a lamp unto our feet...AND ONLY OUR FEET!

God promises to direct our steps and to shine light unto our path so that we do not fall, trip or stumble. But does He promise that we will have CLARITY in the journey?

No....

Is this hard to take in, hard to comprehend?

Yes....

but...
If we seek and ask God for clarity ALL THE TIME for every choice and decision we make, I've come to realize that when "Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of TRUSTING IN GOD. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN PATH STRETCHING AHEAD OF US DESTROYS CHILDLIKE TRUST IN THE FATHER'S ACTIVE GOODNESS AND UNRESTRICTED LOVE." -Brennan Manning Ruthless Trust

I so desperately want to know and understand God's Sovereign and Divine ways. I want to know His character and in the process learn to TRUST Him more with my everything.

If this is my desire, then why do I so desperately CRAVE CLARITY?

Is is because I am afraid to fully TRUST God and to say to him "OK, I'll take this step of faith without a clear picture of what's to come..."

*** I know Lord that you have my best at heart and I trust you! ***


OIY!!! This is pretty intense stuff hey?

The reason I am sharing this revelation with you is because I have prayerfully chosen to pack up everything and go home to Ohio in FAITH that this is the next step for me. I have sought God prayerfully on everything and I feel that the next step (the light that is lit for me on the path of righteousness) is Ohio. At least for now.

I don't know what the Lord has next for me next. It could be to pack everything back up again and move back to Australia, or to venture forward into something completely new? No matter what lies ahead, I have chosen to TRUST GOD...which means I must abandon myself unto Jesus, let go of every right I feel I have for clarity...and just take a step into the light which has been given to me by God.

I praise the Lord because He is SOVEREIGN!!! HE IS GOOD! and HE IS TRUSTWORTHY!

I will see each and everyone of you soon. Thank you again for journeying with me this year. It's been such a RAD YEAR! I can't wait to see what's ahead. I will forever live passionately and wildly for Jesus Christ who is the definition of LIFE ABUNDANT and I pray that you do too!

FULLY SURRENDERED!
