Luke 9: 3 - 4, 6
Take nothing for the journey- no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. ... So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Jesus told his disciples to go with nothing and heal and preach. Nothing. To trust that they would be taken care of somehow.
Trust. That is the core issue in my life. Faith. What I do demonstrates what I believe, really believe. When I worry that my performance won't be good enough I am not trusting but trying to control things myself. I need to trust that though I may feel as if I have nothing to bring to my situation (teaching my children is the situation tonight) God will take me through and provide what is needed. I don't have to worry about the outcome, I need to just trust and obey. It isn't about me. The teaching is about following God's command to teach my children and about loving them. It is about giving my kids what they need and helping them achieve their best - not me having what I need or being the best homeschool teacher ever. God will take my hearts work and make it enough as I trust in him.
