MAY. The test of faith

I thank God for being here today. A week ago, I thought that I would be in the forest, for my internship :)

Today, what I can say is : i have lost the control of my life. Why? Because at the beginning of this month, I have made calculations like the first week is for BSF, the two following for my internship, the last one for my interview. But now, the wheel is not mine anymore, so as my time and my life. I made plans, but now, as it doesn't go my way, I am facing the unknown. Learning what a godly courage means. A sentence that my mind is always repeating a lot this last days is "the reason why we fear is our limited vision ... of God". Until last tuesday, this sentence resonated in my mind as one of those beautiful quote we like to highlight but when it comes to application, it's another story!

The life of Moses and the beginning of the ministry of Joshua really impacted my thinking in the way that at one point of their lives, they both had to face the unknown. Joshua for instance, knew God for the 40 years he has been by Moses' side. But still, God Himself commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, God reminded Him that He won't leave Joshua, that He will go ahead of him. God wanted Joshua to trust Him completely, to acknowledge that even if Joshua is not in control, God is! And God is faithful and trustworthy. 

The godly courage is one thing that God has taught me. & when God gives a lesson, He also gives the exam. I guess this waiting period of my life - especially this month of May - is my exam. Facing the unknown but holding unto the One who is in control... Having the real and practical faith, not the theoretical one. 

Thank You Lord for teaching me to trust YOU more and more each day. I choose to keep calm and trust YOU.
