JUST TRUST ME

Moving can be so difficult. Raise your hand if you hate packing. Now, raise your hand if unpacking is what gives you the most difficulty. Now, raise your hand if you considered that it was difficult only because you didn’t want to do it alone. I feel that.

I was just apartment hunting (at 4am— I know), and I was telling God about all the things I was praying for, the things I wanted to manifest. Being the grand planner that I am (I know God be laughing at me), I decided to re-evaluate my finances so I could truly prepare to take on the responsibility of rent. I’m just being intentional about these blessings God gave me, right? I knew in my heart I could do it, but I needed my mind and my pockets to agree. So I’m writing down every dollar that I save every month, every cent that I am obligated to pay in bills, and figure out what I can manage. I took such a deep breath after I was done, because I couldn’t fathom having to worry about it like this on a more frequent, consistent basis. Mind you, this isn’t a hard task to complete. I said to myself, “Self, this adulting stuff is HARD, sis.” The Holy Spirit very plainly said, “Well, it wouldn’t be so hard if you’d just trust Him.” Oop! Excuse me.

It dawned on me that ever since I began my career in retail/consulting, I had been using that phrase. Just trust me. I know what I’m doing. I will not steer your wrong. Even when you think something looks off, let me show you what I see, and then you’ll get the picture. Whew! It’s as simple as that for anything else in my life. If I just trust God, trust His expertise, trust His process, I have nothing to worry about. I can really kick my feet up on the dashboard and just chill.

These little sayings that we think we are creatively coming up with, are not ours. The Holy Spirit gives us these things as reminders, notes to keep, to reference in our daily lives. God said just trust me, serve me and I’ll take care of the rest. I believe that, so I know these things I ask and pray for, may or may not come to fruition, but I know God heard me before I even opened my mouth, and I’m taken care of. So are you.
