R.E.A.P. March 31 - Hebrews 1

R: Hebrews 1:3 - The Son is the radiance of God's glory & the exact representation of His being sustaining all things by His word.

E: Jesus is fully God. The human likeness of God the Father. Everything exists because of Him.

A: I exist by the word of Christ. He sustains me in physical and spiritual life. I need to look to Him for all my needs.

P: Jesus, thank you for your sacrifice & offer of salvation. Thank you for creating me & choosing me to your salvation. Help me turn to you daily to sustain my spiritual life. Please forgive my sins & failure and help me walk humbly with you.

Trust

I don't know how. I do not know how to stop trying to figure things out on my own and trust that I serve a God who is capable.

If anyone has any pearls for me on this front, PLEASE, I am open to hearing what you do to let go. I am constantly trying to figure EVERYTHING out on my own. I don't like being still. I don't like not knowing what will happen. I don't like not having direction.

Maybe it has more to do with Proverbs 3:6 than I know how to live out. I don't think I currently acknowledge God in all things, so I'm not really giving Him a chance to direct my path. I certainly don't live out the preceding verse...hence the point of this blog!

How do you trust Him wholly? How do I not lean on my understanding, when my understanding is all I "know"? I know I sound like a petulant child right now. Just trying to figure it all out....SEE! There it is again! I am trying to figure things out on my own.....ugh is this to be a never ending cycle for me!?!
