Nothing of My Own to Give
I should know by now that God tends to answer my questions in generalities rather than specifics. His answers this weekend:
My excitement and anticipation should be over what God has planned for the kingdom, not what he has planned for me.
Whatever I do, I need to do it with boldness and with the confidence that I am following God in whatever circumstances I'm in.

I was just reading 2 Samuel about the Mighty 30. How it mentions that the men of Israel turned tail and ran and one man stood against the incoming legions and took down as many as 800.
I really love the idea of fighting his battles (big and small) and just standing firm when all others would turn tail and run. God's got our back... there is nothing we need to fear.
One of the things God was telling me recently when I was trying to get definite answers on particular things was that I can do either... as long as I do it with my whole heart, my whole body, my whole mind and my whole soul. It was kind of frustrating that God wouldn't just lay down the law, but it was comforting to know he was with me wherever I went.

Think how easy it would be to trust in the details, rather than God's character, if you had all the specifics....
