He rises from the glory of His throne, to kneel down and show you compassion. In the middle of the stress, in the midst of the unknown, when you’re being tossed and turned by the waves, He reaches down and pulls you into His embrace. So between the shore and the deep, we can still carry His peace.
See, oftentimes when we pray, we pray out of fear. We beg God to come through for us, but deep down we really don’t believe that He will. Why is that? Could it be we’re disheartened from praying, asking, and receiving no answer? Or could it also be that we’ve lost sight of who God is and who we are?
In the moments I’m tempted to settle for what’s comfortable and known, He reminds me that there is more. There is so much more for the struggles I face, so much more than for unanswered questions and unfulfilled dreams. There is more life to be found and more joy to abound—if I’d only stay connected to the One who does these things.
God put you exactly where you are, in this appointed time, for a specific purpose. Know what it is and cling to it! Nothing about your life is an accident. Trust Him—He knows what He’s doing, even when you don’t. And when you find that the world’s not enough, reach out for Him. For He’s not far from any one of us.
God’s greatest work isn’t what’s on the other side, but it’s in the waiting. It’s right here, right now. What He’s doing in this season isn’t so small, but it’s the stage upon which He speaks.
Every morning that I choose to spend time with Him instead of diving head-first into all the things I have to do, I’m planting spiritual seeds that will reap a harvest greater than I could ever imagine. It may not seem important, but it’s the most important.
Can’t you see He longs to give you good things? Then why do we settle? Maybe it’s because deep down, we’re afraid He can’t or won’t provide any better.
"I know breakthrough is coming / by faith I see a miracle." But what about my miracle?
The enemy will lie to us and tell us we're alone and there's no purpose in the chaos and the questions, but God is saying 'Watch and see what I will do—how I"ll use all of these seemingly random things for the purpose and plan I have for your life. Just trust Me.'
