The September Squeeze!

This scripture really spoke to me this morning.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." Isaiah 55: 8-11

So here it is, I have been battling anxiety regarding the upcoming weeks all the while simultaneously rejecting it under the promises that God has given me. I know deep in my understanding that God has placed me here at this specific moment and will not leave me to battle stress on my own. I know that His ways are not my ways and the worries I have today should be handed over to Him so that I can share the vision for His kingdom and not let it be eclipsed by my anxiety over worldly things.

It seems as though there is a rapidly growing list of things to do and I'm having a hard time culling which ones aren't of utmost importance at the moment. (My thesis work, currating my exhibition, planning my defense, time spent with students for Crusade, and all the other responsibilities sprouting up as September rolls on). Please pray for me that God will give me wisdom and Spirit led vision to accomplish what is required today.

He is awesome and mighty and caring, the all-breasted one, and I know his plan is for good.

Jezze says,

This verse from Isaiah was the same verse that was shared about at the men's breakfast I went to this morning. So true. His ways are past finding out, it's like when your looking at a ball of yarn, you can only follow one strand for so long before you lose track.
