Security in Him

As I walked out of the airport doors to search for familiar faces that I've only seen in pictures, I began to feel excitement build up inside me. I apparently came out the wrong door and I had to walk a bit further to find them. But as to walk around I started feeling lost cuz everything was new to me and I was scared of being all alone. Fear began to seep in my heart as thoughts of being lost and never finding them found its way in my mind. I eventually found them all clumped up together with their eyes glued to the door of the exit I was suppose to come out at. So those thoughts were completely useless and time consuming. When I found a figure that looked similar to my *Twin, I yelled her name, she turned to see who called her and we both ran towards each other for a hug. I finally found security, knowing I wasn't going to get lost in this unfamiliar land.

All too often that’s how I would feel about walk with God. He would take me down different roads in life; some familiar but mostly not. I tend to get comfortable in the life I live in and forget to go out my comfort zone to do things for Him. I get so used to doing the daily routine of life that I miss the importance of what He’s teaching me. When God leads me down an unfamiliar road, I start to fear. I question Him about His plans and if He really thinks I’m “good enough” for whatever He called me to. Doubt would fill my mind about whether or not I am capable to go through it in the first place. But the thing is it’s not about me or my own strength. It wasn’t even about me going down the certain road to begin with. It’s all for Him. The reason He takes me down different paths is so that His glory will be revealed. I’m merely a tool He uses to bring about His plan. It sometimes embarrasses me to think I question an Almighty God who knows everything. So I should look beyond myself and look at the big picture He has in store. Instead of asking “Am I good enough for this task that He has given me?” I should be asking “What can I do to show God’s glory in this situation?” It’s a win, win situation all together, because if we do good things for Christ despite it being uncomfortable, He will bless us through that. Even if we “mess up” we have a forgiving God who welcomes us back with loving arms in where we can find security. So even though I get lost in the journey of life, I can guarantee to find my loving Father in the midst of an unfamiliar world. :)
