Let this test be your testimony of how God changed your life. Know the trials and tribulations you go through make you who you are today, the person God intended you to be. Let your mess be your message of Hope to others, all for God’s glory.
Jeremiah 29:11 says “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.”. Trust God’s plans, not our pain.
We need to learn to stay in the present moment and not worry about what might happen. God’s word says in Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” One of the hardest things is learning to Trust God in all things at all times. Worry doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles so enjoy the adventurous journey God has put us on. Today, rejoice!!
A good reminder for each of us. There is a mountain before a valley. Jesus reveals his glory on the mountain, to prepare his disciples, and us for the valley ahead.
May you have a great Good Friday 🙂
If you are seeking wisdom for what God has for your life and unsure, just know to be Still and listen. God will open doors that no man can shut and he will shut doors that no man can open. If a door is shutting don’t try to keep opening it, make sure your ways are aligned with God’s will for your life. God has bigger and better plans than we can even imagine.
If any of you are like me, patience is not one of my better qualities 🙂 We live in a world of instant gratification and as Christians many times God answer is WAIT to our prayers. The wait may be difficult for many of us, but we have to remember is God’s timing is PERFECT. He needs to line everything up to make it all work out. I have found myself trying to rush God in some areas and that is when things fall apart quickly. Waiting is not easy, but when we know God is in control of our lives, it does make it easier. His plans and ways are so much better than ours.
God’s word says to “Be Still and know that I am God”. We need to listen to God as much as we talk to him. So many times we communicate with him, but we don’t take the time to listen. God wants to give us wisdom and strength, but we need to take time to listen and hear from God daily.
Jeremiah 29:11 “11 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.’ We just need to trust.
Do you ever ask God why he said no or do you praise him for the No and wait for God to Provide? If we can wait and not manipulate, God promises us He is always at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Even when the situation seems to be going the wrong way, we can trust that His way is best. We must be prayerful, wait and trust. Easier said than done though right?
Yet when we wait and see God’s goodness come to past, we create a history with God. This foundation builds our faith in Him so we know we can trust Him again and again.
Today, thank God for the times you have seen His faithfulness. If you are in a current struggle, pray for the patience to wait and not manipulate.
The Word says “Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10. We want God to answer prayers and we ask for these BIG signs, but God is saying slow down and listen to me. . in the quietness. We need to learn how to quiet our hearts and minds to hear from him fully.
