As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. (2 Samuel 22:31)
I love how perfect God’s timing is. I love that I can trust He knows what’s best for me. Just when I think I’m going to dip down in to the well of life and pull out an empty bucket. God surprises me! He fills my well back up. He gives me the opportunity to seek Him, to know Him, and to live through Him. He continues to amaze me!
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
I’m so glad God knows what to do with the pieces of my life!
Dear Father God, I offer all my broken pieces to you! I know that you have a beautiful plan for me! I know that you can make these pieces part of the magnificent masterpiece You have in store for my life. May my life reflect who You are daily and may my pieces speak loudly of Your work in my life!
Surrendered to Your work,
…Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)
This is one of my favorite verses! I love that I’m called to forget what lies behind me. Yesterday can only trip me up if I let it. I make the choice daily to start fresh with a clean slate. God’s mercies are new for me each morning. What an amazing thought! I don’t have to live on yesterday’s mercies and I don’t have to wallow in all that wasn’t accomplished. For today is a new day and God has something beautiful in store for it.
Praise the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
What’s God doing in your life?
I gave you a week off, so now you have two weeks to look back on and see how God has been faithful to you. What did you see in these last two weeks? How did God come through for you? Is God stirring a passion inside of you? Are you being prepared for something? Have you watched God work the details out in your life? Feel free to stop by and share with me what God has done in your life. I always enjoy hearing all about it!
Honestly, these last couple weeks have had a few ups and downs for me. I could reach back even farther and say even 3 weeks ago… the ups and downs started shaking up my world. You see, I felt like I reached the mountain top about 3 weeks ago. I felt like I got to the top and I was thoroughly enjoying the view. I was reminded of who God was in my life and all that He wants to do. Yes, I continue to seek Him daily, but some days I do a lot more “seeking” than “finding”. Do you ever have days like that? Well, let me tell you… I have had a few.
