Dear Friends,
I recently prepared a 10 year plan for our family. The next decade will be one of tremendous change, challenges and growth for the Ferrell clan. Graduations, college life, aging parents, empty nest, etc. etc. Many of you have already experienced or are in the process of going through these life transitions. It can be a bit scary, especially if you have control issues like we do! So, I’m sure God is pleasantly amused at my silly plan for the future. “Go ahead. Make your plan if it makes you feel better. I’ve got plans too and guess what? My plans are better than yours!” So, today’s devotional really hit home. Hope it gives you comfort as well. Peace and Love! Scott

I Am Leading You, Step By Step, through your life. Hold my hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy-even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.
Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.
Deuteronomy 29:29 29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
Psalm 32:8 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.
