Wisdom
Trusting in the Lord is so Important in these last of days. So many times things happen and we forget who we have on our side. We just need to have faith and believe what the Bible says . There is just so much going on in the world right now and its hard to keep the faith sometimes. Because persecution is coming from all angles in your life. But if you let the Lord direct your path and keep your eyes on him then you will have peace. Just continue to seek first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and everything else will be added unto us. There just cannot be any room for fear in these times. As the scripture says we have to trust in the Lord and lean not on our own understanding. Trusting Him and loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, body and strength. He knows and can see the past, present and future. So when We trust in Him we will never be led astray because he will never lead us not forsake us. His will for our lives will be done whether we trust him or not so it’s best to just trust him from the beginning and just have faith.
