"God isn't asking you
to figure it out.
He's asking you
to trust that He already has."
Jason Robinson
This quote popped up on my Instagram feed the other day. I really needed to read that. I'm always trying to figure things out... not always a good thing, because it's not always mine to solve.
My best friend, Ann, says to ask yourself: "Is this MY problem, YOUR problem, OUR problem, or NO problem at all?" Good advice that I obviously don't always follow. I seem to think I'm the only one to figure out the solution.
When our son was diagnosed with diabetes at age 9, we were blindsided by the extra medical expenses. The insurance company would only allow for the supplies to check his blood sugars 3 times a day, whereas he needed at least 5-7 times a day worth. How could I get our son's needs met and keep him safe? I cried out to the Lord in desperate prayer but with little faith as to how this was going to figure out.
I opened my Bible randomly and read, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." [Ephesians 3:20] Really?
Then I looked to my right where the insurance manual I'd been searching through was. I opened it again to the first page and read the letter from the CEO where he stated the necessity for preventative care. Why hadn't I seen that before? I immediately wrote him a letter... yes, I did!
Three days later I received a call from his assistant guaranteeing our son would have sufficient supplies needed. Woo-Hoo! Yes! Lord Yes!
The problem was actually God's. He's got this. Just trust.
