A blank sheet of paper

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

 Many people are more concerned about having God hear what they have to say than they are about hearing what God has to say. They’re trying to put their program across on God and get Him to sign His name to their program.
 I heard someone say one time, “Are you willing, not to present your program to God for His signature, not even to be presented with God’s program for your signature, but are you willing to sign a blank sheet of paper and let God fill it in without your even knowing what His program is going to be?”
 It’s better to leave your mind open to whatever God wants you to do. Ordinarily, it’s something that’s reasonable and logical and just common sense. But sometimes God does things that aren’t according to our natural expectation.
 In those cases, we need to be willing to trust Him, even if He seems to change His mind or things don’t turn out how we thought they would.
 We may not know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future! —DBB [1]

 If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble.
When there is a storm without, He will make peace within.
The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble. —Thomas Watson
