The Quiet Strength of Trusting God's Plan

Are you feeling the pressure to make quick decisions as the new year approaches? As we step into 2025, this episode promises to change your perspective on the virtue of patience and the significance of waiting on God's perfect timing. Explore the contrast between the peaceful assurance of a shepherd's voice versus the anxiety-provoking roar of a lion, as we discuss the importance of discerning divine guidance in our fast-paced world. Learn how the often-overlooked virtue of endurance can prevent fear-driven decisions and help cultivate spiritual fruit.

This episode also emphasizes aligning our actions with God's timing rather than rushing into plans and seeking divine approval afterward. Through relatable anecdotes like travel delays, we highlight how life's timing challenges can test our faith and patience. Using the metaphor of a horse and its rider, we explore the importance of waiting for God's direction before taking steps forward. Trusting in a God who operates beyond time requires submission to His plan, which in turn fosters perseverance, steadfastness, and peace amidst frustration and setbacks.

Finally, reflect on the dangers of forgetfulness as we revisit stories from Exodus and Jeremiah, which illustrate the consequences of acting outside of God’s guidance. These narratives remind us of the importance of continuously engaging with spiritual truths. As we look forward to the new year, I offer encouragement and guidance to help embrace these insights.
