God is faithful
A lot of stuff has been going on in my life lately, but God has been doing so much too. There are two verses that have been on my mind lately. Let me share them and explain why they mean so much to me right now.
1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
We are commanded to stand firm. No matter what comes against us we should not let it move us. On foundation is Jesus Christ, our rock which will not move. If our foundation is strong on Him, when the storms come into our lives, we should still be able to stand. And the coolest thing is that in our moments of weakness, He is still our rock and He will always pick us up and help us stand again.
The next part of the verse tells us to keep working for the Lord. There are a lot of things in my life right now that doesn't make sense or that I am frustrated with. But this verse is encouraging because if I am working for the Lord, my labor is not in vain. As long as I keep my eyes on Him and do what He wants me to do, then I know things will work out.
The other verse I really like is Habakkuk 1:5 "Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."
God works in mysterious ways and our human thinking can't even begin to comprehend what He has in mind. We can only see the circumstances around us, but He holds the whole plan. I find it great to know that though I don't understand everything going on, that I am going to be utterly amazed at what He does. He brings beauty from ashes and works things together for good. He is doing things in my life and in the lives of my friends that I wouldn't even be able to believe if He told me.
God is in control. We have no reason to fear. I hope this was encouraging to you. It's something that I am trying to let sink deep into my heart instead of just lingering there for a moment and then disappear. I'm learning just to trust God and let Him work things out. And He is always faithful. God bless!!
