Will You Go Out Without Knowing?

 He went out, not knowing where he was going —Hebrews 11:8

Have you ever “gone out” in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, “What do you expect to do?”You don’t know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually examine your attitude toward God to see if you are willing to “go out” in every area of your life, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in constant wonder, because you don’t know what God is going to do next. Each morning as you wake, there is a new opportunity to “go out,” building your confidence in God. “. . . do not worry about your life . . . nor about the body . . .” (Luke 12:22). In other words, don’t worry about the things that concerned you before you did “go out.”Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do— He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you “go out” in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised one iota by anything He does?Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest to Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to “go out” in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to “go out” through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.

Journal Entry for Today-JDV

Lord, this is a lesson You have been showing me for some time; namely that I do not need to know where You are or what You are doing in my life. I do not need to know the who, what, where or why, I simply need to stay connected to You and trust You to move me, shape me and make me aware when and how You choose.

And God says…”Have you noticed the peace that passes all understanding in your life when you let go of the need to know; when you allow Me to have and hold the knowing for you? Have you noticed how much more exciting this life adventure can be when you simply trust Me and wait for Me to unfold the present and future? Trust in Me with all your heart and do not relay on your own devices. Put the Lord first in all you do and He will crown your efforts with success.”
