If you know a little bit about me, then you
would have noticed that I like to plan ahead. I love dreaming and creating
mental pictures of where I'll like to be in the future, what I'll like to do
and goals I'll love to have achieved. With these dreams comes questions, worse
case scenarios and 'what ifs'...What if this doesn't happen? What if that
happens?
You
see, in life things don't necessarily go the way we plan even after series of
preparation and marathon prayers. For me, some of the things I dreaded most, my
worst case scenarios actually happened. I never thought I would have been able
to face or survive these challenges but here I am today basking in God's glory.
In those very places where I was despised, He has made me beautiful and now I'm
called sought out, desirable and not forsaken (Isaiah 62:12).
Sometimes God lets us go through certain
things just so we can get to know Him better. In the words of Sarah Goebel,
"God is revealed in the devastations and challenges of life. Without them,
how would we know God? These events are a necessary part of life’s journey in
order for us to know our God and do mighty exploits".
In Daniel
11:32b, the bible says "But the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do exploits". Like you, I've had my fair share of ups and
downs but because I know my God, I'm strong, doing exploits & amazing
myself! How well do you know your God? Do you really have a relationship with
Him? Selah!
Have a blessed day

Haha, that cartoon is just on point. I could relate to this, planning things ahead sometimes doesn't work maybe it wasn't the right time or maybe God is working out greater opportunities for us
ReplyDeleteThis is so true as we walk with God, the more we know God the stronger we get in our Christian journey. This is just similar to the message at my church today, if we know God and place more confidence/hope in him...we won't be moved no matter what comes our way i.e we get stronger only in Christ.
Nicely written hunnie, more inspiration and wisdom in Jesus name (Amen)
Amen.
