I’ve had a lot of conversations recently with friends and families at school and church who are walking through difficult things. This world is broken (Genesis 3) and life can be really hard. I’m so grateful that we don’t have to do it alone. In these verses, the Lord is reminding Israel of who He is.
More often than not, when I’m discouraged…it’s simply because I’ve not remembered who God is. I find myself trying to do things on my own or find peace in things that aren’t able to bring peace. I can find myself assigning worth to things that aren’t worthy…Christ alone is worth of my attention and affection.
I’m so grateful that the Lord has given me the gift of the Bible. This book is God’s word that points me to the character of God and is my guidebook for all that will come up in life.
The Lord knows we can’t handle all that this world brings our way…we weren’t designed to do that. We will fall short. We will get discouraged. Until we lift our eyes to Christ.
As I pray for those that are walking through difficult things, I’m asking the Lord to help me keep my eyes on Him, my heart consumed by His love and grace, and my mind stayed on His faithfulness. When we look to Christ, we can be reminded…even in the midst of the hard…that the BEST IS YET TO COME!
God is faithful. He is working!
