Lord help me embrace the open space that feels unknown in this place of grace. To trust You is to accept the not-knowing. And when I do that, I receive the gift of thankfulness in the present moment. The un-knowing binds me to You, because I must know something, and if it’s not what to do and how to do it and what the future holds, then it is You. I know You. You are my safety. You are my future. You are wisdom. You are comfort. All is wrapped up in You, which allows me to be present. I can be in this moment, because I know You will be with me in the rest of the moments as they come. This is grace! This is freedom. This is the gift of not worrying. I’m sorry I have been slow to surrender. I have tried to place myself in judgement over You. How ridiculous I must look, but You persist in seeking intimacy with me. Thank You.

” ‘He who glories let him glory in the Lord.’ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” -1 Corinthians 1:31b-2:5
