Do you ever wonder why things seem to not be going your way?
It just seems like at times you just can’t catch a break. I have been going
through a season like that in my life lately. My whole family getting sick.
Getting behind with things at work. I even had to deal with the possibility of
having to find a new place to live and relocate my family in less than 2 weeks.
It is at times like these that we might waiver in our faith.
Is God still there? Did I do something wrong, is this the consequence? Is the
enemy attacking me again?
As part of my daily reading, I am reading through a book
called “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young. I want to share an exert from January 20
with you.
Approach this day with awareness of who
is Boss. As you make plans for the day, remember that it is I who orchestrate
the events of your life. On days when things go smoothly, according to your
plans, you may be unaware of My sovereign Presence. On days when your plans are
thwarted, be on the look out for Me! I may be doing something important in your
life, something quite different from what you expected. It is essential at such
times to stay in communication with Me, accepting My way as better then yours.
Don’t try to figure out what is happening. Simply trust Me and thank Me in
advance for the good that will come out of it all. I know the plans I have for
you, and they are good.
I have been
watching ups and down, ins and outs happening in various lives around me in the
last few weeks, and sometimes we just want someone to make sense of it all. But
that is when God reminds us that His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts
are not our thoughts, and we are lucky that they aren’t. He has it all under
control.
“For I know the plans I have for
you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
(Jerimiah 29:11 NIV)
