Faithfulness

The only thing I can rest in is in the promises that God has given me through scripture. Nothing else is satisfying. Everything in the life is fleeting. Clothes, money, relationships, school, everything. My God and his Kingdom is forever, eternal, and is the only thing that will stand through the ages and NOT be shaken. Because of salvation, through the blood of Jesus, I now live IN those promises. I will not be shaken by the troubles of this world. I will not be shaken when Satan is prowling ready to attack. I will not be shaken when all my plans seem to crumble before me. My identity is in The God of this universe and he lifts me up. He gives me water in scorched lands. He heals my brokenness. He makes beauty out of my mess. He restores in me the joy of my salvation. If you are going through a difficult season in your life, this is for you:

God’s got this. He is in complete control of whatever you are going through. You may be thinking that God is in heaven with his fingers in his ears ignoring your prayers, but he is not. Friend, he hears you. Do not think that just because your prayers are not being answered right at this very moment that he does not hear you. This process of you crying out to God is causing you to be completely reliant on his timing. This time of surrendering all to him is making you lay down all of your pride and humbly come before him. He may be breaking you down so that he can pick the pieces up and make you into the beautiful masterpiece you were created to be. Just hold on. Our God is so faithful and he has not left you. He is closer than you think. Rest in the presence of our Almighty and Loving Father.
