The silence of this Saturday is deafening. It screams,
Dead.
Hopeless.
Despair.
Disappointment.
Disillusionment.
Discouragement.
Defeat.
Doubt.
Fear.
Loss.
Sorrow.
Grief.
Regret.
Don’t give up hope, in the silent, agonizing, middle.
Tomorrow’s coming.
Always.
Has saying yes to too many things ever left you stressed, distracted and completely exhausted? Me too. That's why I'm sharing about the peace God wants to help us find in my devotion "God, I'm Worn Out." You can read it here: https://t.co/pnd58llAbH
Lord, we don’t want to carry the worries of last week into the fresh start of this week. So, we offer them all to You. All of our attempts to figure things out. All of the anxiety of the unknown. We lay it all down - trusting that we have complete access to Your peace today.
We don’t have to be fearful about what this new week holds. God is already standing in every one of our tomorrows.
Standing there with His love. Waiting on us with His wisdom. Going before us with His hope and His provision.
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. —Jeremiah 29:11
In whatever path God has for you, walk forward in confidence and rest knowing He has a plan for you — one that’s far greater than you could ever imagine (Ephesians 3:20)!
Love Y'all. 💛
Sometimes the promise we heard from God does not come overnight, which is why the waiting period is so important. It is not a time to be discouraged, rather a time to lean in more to who He is. We can put our hope and faith in the One who loves us and has a plan for our lives.
It's easy to get discouraged in waiting seasons. That's why it's wise to fill the gap between here & there by proclaiming every hint of God’s activity. We can make a list & acknowledge that just because God is silent in one area of our life doesn’t mean He’s silent in every area.
There's a reason we don’t have all the answers to our “why” questions. God isn’t trying to be distant or mysterious or hard to understand. He’s being merciful.
We don’t have to know the plan to trust there is a plan. We just have to fix our thoughts on Jesus.
