Out of my hands..and into His!

If you're Estonian speaking and you wonder why in the world am i blogging in english.. then no, it's not cos i'm so fancy-pantsy and im showing off..it's cos i know very many of my blog readers are english-speaking and frankly am too lazy to write the same post in Estonian and English! So forgive me if you feel betrayed or something smth..

I've been thinking and trying to write a new post for quite some time now cos so much has happened and so many thoughts are on my mind..but every time i start i finish just as fast..so i guessed there's just nothing that much to share..or if there is..it's not that important..

But then yesterday evening i read bible and this scripture came up..and just to mention..i've been searching God in some specific things for quite some time now..so that scripture spoke to me exactly in the aspect i've been searching God for..so the scripture is
Jeremiah 17:7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

[Eesti keeles: Õnnistatud on mees, kes loodab Jehoova peale, kelle lootus on Jehoova! Tema on otsekui vee äärde istutatud puu, mis ajab oma juuri oja kaldal, ega karda, kui palavus tuleb, vaid ta lehed on haljad; ja põua-aastal ta ei muretse ega lakka vilja kandmast]

Something that i did not pay attention to before (reading the scripture) was that there's a difference in trusting God and having your confidence in Him!! Like i can trust God 100% in some aspects and want His will all the way but still try to control the situation or make something happen..you , yourself, through something you do.. but if you add 'Have your confidence in Him'..it means not only that you trust God and trust Him to guide you..but you also let go of whatever you are trying to handle and control yourself! ..and boy that's hard. Letting go is hard. Cos if you let go, if it's totally, absolutely out of your hands it means you don't do absolutely anything to control the situation, to make it happen..but you trust God alll the way and trust Him that IF it is His will..HE (and HE HIMSELF) will make it happen! It means giving God the permission to be in control.

..and if you read on in verse 8, it says..those people (who have done the step 1 and 2), they don't have any fear nor any worries!! So here's how you can test whether you trust God in your own specific matter AND if you have your confidence in Him..is whether you have any fears or worries concerning the matter. Well that's how i came to the conclusion i didn't have my confidence in Him (is that i had fears and worries)..so now..i don't anymore :)) .. and it even says that even tho it might get really really hard it does not fear "when the heat comes"..that it's leaves stay green--meaning like..you won't get all sad and depressed and miserable and all that..IT DOESN'T EFFECT YOU cos your confidence is fully in Him which means you're like a tree in the desert but that's roots are in the water..like who wouldn't like that :D

..and also one final thing concerning the scripture..look at the 2nd part of the final sentence-- never fails to bear fruit. Have you notices that if there's something bothering you or there's something big on your mind (big as in..not "what food am i gonna make today; what should i wear today etc") it can take your attention off everything or everybody else you are surrounded by..and even to the extent where you can't pray, can't worship..or you just won't..you are constantly thinking about THAT THING..well it's a big red light saying STOP NOW and do the step 1 and 2!!
..So if you will..you will never fail to bear fruit and thats just AWESOME! Just imagine you being in a deser ..lets say inthe middle of the summer in a desert (let's take it to the extreme :D )..and YOU will be the one having it's roots in the water and baring fruit! man, GOD IS AMAZING! :)

So i really hope it helped you..cos for me it changed everything!

and remember..
Out of your hands..and into His!!
