I Never Imagined…
We have so many grandiose expectations for how we “think” our life should turn out. When you look at your life right where you are right now, does it look like anything you thought it would look like? I know mine doesn’t, there are things in my life I never imagined I would be growing through, never thought my life would go that way. But, in relationship with God, things are not as they seem. Wait For It! God’s Not Done!
It Is Not About What We See…
What we see now, isn’t how it will end. God has an endgame in mind. It is good for us not to presume on God’s Will by what we “see” in our life. Faith isn’t about what is seen, it is about believing in the unseen. We may not have written our life story this way, but He does things in unconventional ways, but they always have a good endgame.
“First, The Holy Spirit is God’s divine channel for releasing His power on the earth. Second, when God’s power is released into any situation, no power on earth can stand against it. Third, as we depend upon the Holy Spirit, we will discover that God’s power is available to us in every situation. God never asks us to face our problems alone. Through the Holy Spirit, we have access to the greatest power source in the universe. The power we need is ours for the asking.” Written by Ray Pritchard
Not The Way I Planned…
So if things are not going the way you planned for your life, the best thing to do is lean into God’s Sovereign Sway. The worst thing to do is buck up your will against God’s Will, that won’t work out so well. Believe me. I know. What is happening right now is for our best and His glory, it may not feel that way, but it is true.
The Lord says: “My thoughts and my ways are not like yours. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours. Isaiah 55:8-9
The Best Thing To Do…
Our plans are not His, our way is not His. It is hard to wrap our mind around God’s methods of writing our life story. But… bucking up our will against God’s will, does nothing for us, just makes things harder. God’s will is going to be done. The best thing we can do is put all of our expectations in God’s Hands and trust Him with them, trust Him with the all of our everything. Listen up to this 1 Minute Encouragement Video
Only God gives inward peace, and I depend on him. God alone is the mighty rock that keeps me safe, and he is the fortress where I feel secure. God saves me and honors me. He is that mighty rock where I find safety. Trust God, my friends, and always tell him each of your concerns. God is our place of safety. Psalms 62:5-8
The Best Is Yet To Come…
Could it be that what is happening right now is for our best and His glory. It may not feel that way, but things are never about how they feel. Feelings are fickle, but God is not. God Is F.I.T. God is faithful, God is Infinite, God is trustworthy and if we look back on our lives, we see that handiwork of His good and glory. We can trust God with our lives, we can trust Him with the pen. God is writing a fantastic story, He is just not done yet. Let God Work. The Best Is Yet To Come! God bless ya.
