[Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.]
[One thing God has spoken,
two things I have hearrd:
"Power belongs to you, God,
and with you, Lord, is unfailing love";
and, "You reward everyone
according to what they have done."]
- Psalm 62:1-2, 11-12
Today I learned that God is omniscient and omnipotent. This means he is all - knowing and all- powerful. God is love, and when you add up these three things together, we find that we can trust Him. His love means that He always wants what's best for us, his omniscience means he always knows what is best for us, and His omnipotence means he always does what is best for us.
Such an awesome reminder that we don't have to worry about our futures especially when we're applying for universities. Wherever we end up is whereever God has already planned for us to be, and that is what's best for us. We only have to trust in Him and do our best - leaving the rest up to God. I worry too much; whether or not I'll make it to university, how I'm going to find a job, and what choices to make, etc. When I actually think about all the unnecessary worrying I'm doing, and stop to let God handle it, it's like walking outside in the pouring rain - I feel relieved and refreshed.
[I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.' From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.] - Isaiah 46:10-11
God loves us so much, that he planned out the whole universe down to specific little things even smaller than electrons and protons. He tweaked everything just right - so that our world would exist, so that we would exist. He planned everything out for us, so that we wouldn't have to worry about it. No matter how much we screw up, God has a purpose and can turn it into a good thing. It's all part of His plan, we only have to follow. =)
