Trusting

Oh, don’t we all need a big heap of God’s love today? Just to wrap us up tightly and carry us over the rough spots that come along. All the things hoped for seem to transfer to the back burner while things not hoped for, nor even asked for, come a calling.

Yeah, the enemy can throw some pretty difficult stuff into our pathway and it keeps us on our toes for sure and makes us wonder how we’ll make it through. But remember, our faithful God is so faithful and walks the same road with us. He’s rich in mercy! He’s compassionate in care and perfect in love. His eye is on you and You are highly favoured in His economy. He heals! He mends! He repairs, and He protects and that’s what we need today for sure. Just one big heap of it all to take its place right in our midst and give us a springboard to propel us on for His glory!

So, beautiful one, whatever has you down ~ whatever has come a calling that wasn’t asked for, you might not realize it yet, but it’s been perfected just for you and customized just for your needs today. He’s got it. Enjoy God’s faithfulness through it and let Him direct your path. Be blessed under His divine protection through the testing time and watch His miracles unfold.

“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation.”

James 1: 12

“The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture and the hillsides blossom with joy.”

Psalm 65: 12

Brighten This Chapter

Some days are topsy turvy aren’t they? Actually, some seasons of our lives are that, and if you’re like me, your mind may be going in all directions at once, not get anywhere fast.

When it becomes difficult to find focus, our story can get complicated. We need to take our thoughts captive and guard our hearts and minds. Let’s brighten the chapter of our story with a happy thought on even just one blessing for the moment and remind ourselves of Philippians 4:7,

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

He promises peace in the chaos and when we have peace we have focus.

Embracing Faith

We all have things that seem insurmountable. Things that are hard and seem as if nothing good could ever come of them. Well, today, let’s just let our faith out of the box we’ve confined it to and live like we believe for those things to become real. It’s called a miracle and they still happen ❤

Be Still

So today, maybe we all just need to inhale God’s grace and exhale His praise. Maybe we all just need to sit still in His presence and recognize who He is and what He means to us in all of our ups and downs, highs and lows, in and outs, faults and all.

Yeah, so maybe it’s a hard day of j nothing but “All gone wrong” and everything seems so misshapen and out of sorts.

Where’s the joy when the world’s in a mess and your world follows close behind in its messed-up footsteps? The joy you knew yesterday took a dive into the deep and it kinda seems like it’s gone forever. Here in this dreadful “now” moment, you’re emptied of emotion and the pain felt in the heart can’t feel the hurt anymore because it’s just too weary to feel anymore.
Where do you go when worries have numbed your spirit and hung your beautiful soul out to dry? Where is your refuge when your world hangs by a thread, and the thing you feared most has taken its position? The Psalmist in Psalm 46 tells us,

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it’s watered roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”

Beautiful one, when all is lost, the Psalmist goes on to bring words of hope to the reader,

“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the Holy Place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day…Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Oh, what comfort for our crumpled spirit and our broken world. God is in charge and He will be exalted in your situation and in your circumstances if you rest “Still” in Him and know that He is sovereign overall. Rest then today ~ right now ~ you who are broken, and shattered in your brokenness, just be still in Him.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.”

Psalm 46:10
