Confused Much?

I’m going through the book of 1 Corinthians for my daily bible reading. The chapter for the day is verse 14 and while the verse mainly talks about spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues and prophesying (both of which I don’t have lol), verse 33 hit me in the face:

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Everyone thought I was crazy for moving to Oklahoma. I’m almost certain my friends took bets how long I will last here (yup what good friends I have LOL). Obedience was the easy part. Trying to understand why is harder. Maybe that’s where faith comes in. Without hesitation, I packed up and left Miami. I knew without a doubt, it was God calling. I answered. But as soon as I got here, things started coming at me from all directions. I immediately went to work and boy, there was so much that needs to be done. I needed to furnish my apartment and sign up for the basic necessities (cable and internet). There were issues with the main cable line so the cable company is still fixing it right now. I needed to get insurance, change my tag, get a new driver’s license and update my car registration. I found myself running around the city trying to find the nearest Target, Walmart and Shell station. I’m waiting on my furniture from Florida and I’m still missing stuff for the apartment. All the while dealing with feelings of homesickness – missing my friends and my routine. This was the first time I had to deal with these things all by myself. It reached the point where I was too overwhelmed. In the middle of confusion, I questioned God if He called the right person. His response? “I don’t make mistakes, Jamie. You’re here not because of you but because of Me. It’s not about you.” And He’s right. Always is.

What are you confused about today? What fills your thoughts with uncertainty? What makes you doubtful and fearful? What stresses you the most in the last couple of days? Call on God. He is the God of peace. He will give it to you. Things may not make sense now and it may get overwhelming at times but He will give you peace. And most of the time, that’s all you’ll need.
