Blogging Through the Gospels: Trust. Listen. Obey.

in Gospels in 14 weeks

The reading for Saturday is John Chapter 14.

Here is what I heard:

Scripture:

John 14:1

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

John 14:15

“If you love me, you will obey what I command.

Observation:

Trust in me, show your love and and listen to my commands. You will be just fine.

Application:

I am so overwhelmed again.

I feel like I am juggling way too much, but they are all things I want to juggle.

I need to calm down, listen and trust. He will lead me down the right path. He will prioritize my to-dos. I just need to slow down and listen and then follow.

Prayer:

Lord, please guide me. Help me to slow down and stay on the right track and not veer off on so many side roads!

I think I trust you, but then I spin my wheels trying to do so much. So then, am I really trusting, or doing so much ‘just in case’ or ‘just because.’ Yikes.

Help me to sloooooow down, listen and follow your guidance. Please help me to prioritize my to-dos and organize my time in a more intentional, honoring way to you.

You really have the best plan in mind. I need to listen, fully trust and follow.
How do you slow down and really listen?

FYI…I’m going to be without internet for the next week, and will have internet access just as this “Blogging Through The Gospels” series ends! I have read ahead and scheduled the rest of my BTTG John posts for this week…they will be posted everyday (through July 10) on my blog (www.tennesseephotographer.blogspot.com) at 5AM Eastern Daylight Time.

Thank you Amy and everyone else for starting & encouraging me on this journey! It’s been so awesome to get to know God better! :)

I have to remind myself this from time to time as well when I am overwhelmed… and like you, it is usually all due to GOOD things in my life that I have brought on myself (which helps me be that much more grateful as well). You can accomplish anything with the proper guidance (HIS) and prayer. HUGS!
