I can run like the Wind Blows

Three things to avoid: 

Worry

1 Pet 5:7

Matt 6:25-34

If we start to worry if we’re doing it right

If we start to worry if we’re making a difference

And if we’re not careful before, we know it, we have stopped running and worry is consuming us. And we are constantly asking God for confirmation or for a sign or for him to speak to us, instead of walking by faith and not by sight.  

Worry leads to frustration

Ps 37:7

Ps 37:8

Now you’re just frustrated. God doesn’t seem to be speaking, you’re frustrated with everybody that you think is doing better than you.

The path is revealed in the treading and since you’re no longer running, God‘s not showing or speaking

Frustration leads to quitting and/or trying other ways  

Three things to do:

Choose to believe and trust

John 3:16

Heb 11:1

Mark 9:22

Mark 9:23

John 14:1

Remind yourself, this is the day that the Lord has made and rejoice and be glad in it. 

Do good works

Titus 3:1

Titus 3:8

Titus 3:14

James 1:22

To know to do something and not do it, to him who knows to do right and doesn’t do it to him. It is sin.
