My Times Are in His Hands

     One of my current favorite verses is Ps. 31:15, "My times are in thy hand..."
It seems to sum up my week. I'd been having some trouble applying to the college I'm planning on taking some online music classes from, and there was the temptation to worry. "What if I can't take classes? What if this sets me back a whole year?" You probably know how your mind can zoom around in a million different directions when you're worried.
    But this verse was a huge comfort. If God wanted me to take classes, then He would make a way. If not, then He obviously had something in better in mind, because I know He wouldn't hold back any good thing from me.
     So, my part was to wait. Just wait...and pray. It's difficult to mentally stop rushing around and trying to concoct "Plan B", and instead trust for an unknown future.
    On Thursday, I got a call from the college, and the problem was worked out, allowing me to be accepted. I was so thankful! The Lord knew what would happen throughout the whole ordeal, and that was enough. I didn't have to know what would happen; it was enough to know that my times are in His hands, and that nothing was really out of control.
     I'm quite sure that this isn't the last time I'll face a situation like that, but maybe the lesson will stick. My times are not in my hands -- they're in His.

I recently had a similar problem with a college recieving my high school transcripts. Anyway, it turned out that it just took a long time for them to input eveything, but it is definitely hard not to think of all the possible "worst scenarios" in one of those situations. (Philippians 4:6,7 are a couple more great verses on anxiety and the Peace of God.)

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad to be done with all the driving practice. No, we're not really doing anything to celebrate--no longer having to go practice driving all the time is celebratory enough for me :) Plus, my brother just had his wisdom teeth removed a few days ago, and he's not well enough to do much of anything. I actually still have yet to drive anywhere by myself.... I have a pretty bad sense of direction, so it's easier to have someone else drive me unless I know how to get wherever I'm going really well.

Thanks for stopping by!

This post describes what I have to go through when I get worried. My mind spins in every possible direction when I become nervous and then I have to calm down and remind myself that "the times are not in my hands-but in His"

Have a great Day!

About Me


Welcome to my little perch! I'm Kori, an 18 year old homeschool graduate who is the oldest of five kids. I'm an MMK (minister of music's kid), and I'm very thankful for the family the Lord chose for me! A few of my favorite things are reading, writing , playing piano, and working with kids. Right now, I'm pursuing a degree in music using distance education and CollegePlus! The most important thing in my life is my relationship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this blog, I want to sing His praises and encourage others to praise Him as well. Enjoy the music!

Luke 12:6-7 (KJV)

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
