WORRY Worry worry...

I read this from "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. I have no idea of his spiritual background, but I read the devotional for January 2nd with an open heart as to what God wanted to show me. Here's a little excerpt:
"He went out, not knowing where he was going." ~Hebrews 11:8

Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell. God doesn't tell you what He is going to do -- He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you "go out" in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised one iota by anything He does?

Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point where there is nothing between yourself and God.

Worry IS disrespectful to God, in fact! Ah - how I am so guilty of that sin. But each time I give it all up to Him, He IS faithful, beyond what words can describe. Especially in the little things... how much more so with the complete direction of our lives!
