The God Who Called Me

I have been nervous about leaving San Diego and embarking on a new journey. Part of my nervousness is that I am doing what I believe I was called to do and getting that glimpse of my promise land, and I am scared that I am not ready.  I would say I have not only been nervous but scared. Which I know is normal, however I want to go into this season really trusting God. I struggle in the area of faith and believing God for what I believe to be impossible or outside of my human capability. It's sometimes hard for me to wrap my brain around his supernatural abilities so I tend to not ask for the things that are a stretch of faith or I ask and doubt. I know these are things that everyone can relate to but in this next season I need stronger faith and I need to really stand on the promises and character of God. As exciting as this next season is going to be, I know it will not be a walk in the park. 

The past couple of weeks God has just been speaking to me in the most gentle and loving way. He is constantly reminding me of His love for me, a love that took His son to the cross. He also has been reminding me of His character. He is good. He is a refuge and strong tower. He promises are real and true. He is not a man that He should lie. His thoughts toward me are as numerous as the sand.  Psalm 91 talks about how God is a protector and a savior to those who take refuge in Him. This scripture immediately reminds me of stories in the bible of how God saves and how God protects His people.  He parted the Red Sea to save the people of Israel from the Egyptians, the same God that caused mannah to fall from heaven to feed the Israelites, and He is the same God that made the sun stand still for Joshua to fight. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That means my God is the same today as He was when He did all those miracles.  He is a God that moves and fights supernaturally on my behalf. As long as I have Him on my side I don't have to be nervous or scared because He will intercede on my behalf. He is a passionate God and He is passionate about His people. So when He provides for us or saves us He does is passionately and with style. 

If I remember these things about my God daily then I will not be fearful of the things to come. If I understand that this is the God that has called me, then why should I be nervous? If I believe that God is the same today as He was in the bible days then why should I stand in fear. Today I am choosing to stand in excitement. I am eager to see God's salvation, protection, and provision during this next season. I am going to have the privilege to see God' s supernatural power in my life. It's going to be awesome :)
