Pastor Bill Hayden
How many times in life have you said to yourself… “I didn’t see that coming?” There are situations that seem to come out of nowhere and catch us unguarded and unprepared. You try to think about where you went wrong and what you did to contribute to the dilemma that you have found yourself in.
There are days that you are just trying to keep one foot in front of the other as you walk through the maze of life. You make plans… to make plans that keep changing due to things that you have no control over. Some days nothing seems to go as planned – the bottom falls out; you spilled your coffee all over, have flat tire, discover that you made two appointments at the same time. The list goes on and on like a busted bag of marbles.
Well, the challenges you face in life may be more difficult than chasing loose marbles, especially when you are aware that you have limitations. You can’t be all things to all people, everywhere at the same time and knowledgeable when certain things are beyond your control.
Overnight your world can change and suddenly you find yourself at a loss and unprepared. You cry out to God in wonderment, walking through a revolving door of ‘whys and I should haves’. Then over time, He answers and makes a way for you to succeed and understand His wisdom in your dilemma.
Our Sovereign God, who knows every detail of your life from the moment of conception until you see Him face to face, is with you in all your troubles.
Luke 12:7 ESV Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
In this season of your life… weeping may endure in your nights but joy will surely return in your mornings.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 GNT May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
