I’m so thankful that God has a bigger attention span than me. When there are many things going on in the world, and in our own personal worlds, it can feel overwhelming. It can feel like we become smaller and smaller while being surrounded by mountains.
Troubles continue. They are a part of living. Yet, the one who created the universe continues to spin worlds. He moves planets in their time, and keeps the sun and stars burning. He sustains all things, keeps it all going. In it all, he is no less attentive of you and I. He still sees every area of our lives and he works it all for good. Nothing goes overlooked. Nothing is wasted.
Sometimes it is hard to trust, not because God isn’t trustable, but because we’ve seen so much at the hands of men. Remember, God is not a man. He is always worthy of our trust (Num.23:19). His ways are not our ways (Isa.55:8-9). We can trust because he is faithful. He has never failed and he won’t start any time soon.
It may not look the way we had expected, or maybe the way we hoped, but it will be okay. He will work it all together for good. That is hard to see when we can’t see the final outcome.
I am praying for you to know God’s peace today. I pray that he will enable you to turn your eyes off of the problem and onto his face. Don’t worry about your own ability or worthiness of God’s help. Nothing God does for us is based upon our worthiness but upon Christ’s. Feel free to message me with your prayer requests.
