Happy February, friends, and welcome to another installment of our newest blog post series! I found this super cool devotional several years ago called Finding God in the Hunger Games, and I’m finally working through it. I’ll be sharing what I learn from each of the thirty-day devotional readings, and applying what I learn using my very own Katniss-inspired prayer journal. Hope you enjoy!
Day 8
Today’s devotional is called “We Can Always Trust in God,” and it was anther good one. I love how it focuses on Peeta’s experience with learning how to trust the other character with his actual life after being hijacked. It’s a real testament to Peeta’s wonderfulness that he, even after being conditioned to associate almost everyone he knows with fear and pain, can still trust and rely on others. Just another reason why we love him ^.^
Verse of the Day
Proverbs 3:5 NASBTrust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
What I learned
Today I reflected on the fact that God has proven Himself trustworthy to me over and over again. I also realized all over again that Jesus is the ultimate example of “trusting the LORD with all your heart.” As a human, Jesus had to rely on prayer for communication with the Father, just like the rest of us. And He didn’t question His purpose, even when He was surrendering Himself to be executed! I would love to be able to follow the Lord’s example in this, and I pray I’ll be able to discern when it’s His voice speaking to me and when it’s just my own brain making noise.
