All I know is that my life has been dramatically different since I have taken a leap of faith and trusted God against all my understanding.
Despite not being fully-funded the Lord has met all of my needs the last 4 months. I have never felt so much freedom from my schedule and from money. The things that I currently rule my life go against everything I believe to be "safe" yet there is this unexplained peace that reigns. Philippains 4:7 conveys this: And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
It has led me to believe that the Holy Spirit reigns outside the lines of logic, but it impact and power cannot be ignored by one's logic.
God will show up when one seek his kingdom above all else
Oswald Chambers understands this.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you —Matthew 6:33

“. . . do not worry about your life. . .” (Matthew 6:25). Our Lord pointed out that from His standpoint it is absolutely unreasonable for us to be anxious, worrying about how we will live. Jesus did not say that the person who takes no thought for anything in his life is blessed— no, that person is a fool. But Jesus did teach that His disciple must make his relationship with God the dominating focus of his life, and to be cautiously carefree about everything else in comparison to that. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Don’t make food and drink the controlling factor of your life, but be focused absolutely on God.” Some people are careless about what they eat and drink, and they suffer for it; they are careless about what they wear, having no business looking the way they do; they are careless with their earthly matters, and God holds them responsible. Jesus is saying that the greatest concern of life is to place our relationship with God first, and everything else second.
It is one of the most difficult, yet critical, disciplines of the Christian life to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us into absolute harmony with the teaching of Jesus in these verses.
