Life suddenly sends us things we never planned on. For example, when the Napa fires came, my daughter and her family never thought about one night waking up to fires. Rushing suddenly out of their house and not knowing if it would be there when they got back. In their case and for many others, their family home was destroyed plus all of their clothes, furniture, pictures, jewelry, kids things and so much more gone within minutes. I look at how hard they worked to get the things they had and gone suddenly. I also saw two adults who were courageous in a new day, not knowing the next step of life. God sent people to help with needs and even wants during this season of change. Their attitude made a huge difference in being positive. Yet, months later the rebuild of their house has not yet taken place. Still waiting on and hoping it will be soon.
Deuteronomy 31:6 New International Version (NIV)
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
STRONG AND COURGEOUS ~
Seek the Lord in the waiting time
Nobody knows but God what this day will bring. It's important to pray over family and friends in a new day. The Bible says:
Jeremiah 29:11-13 New International Version (NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
PLANS ~ PROMISES ~ FUTURE
There is hope in a new day
Seek the Lord with part of your heart? NO ~ Seek the Lord with ALL of your heart! God is able to turn things around. It might not be the answer you were waiting for, but it's the plan of God. Some things happen in life that doesn't make sense to our brains. It wasn't our choice and it happened anyway. It is the anyways stages of life we learn to trust God through it all. Never giving up on praying and seeking him is important. I have suffered consequences of others choices in life. I began to seek God for wisdom in words and actions on my part. Then flip that around and others have suffered consequences because of own choices. It is in those times we find out who our real friends are in life. Who will stick by a person and who will pray? God does send faithful people into our paths of life and our lives can change to positive, but there is a process that we might have to go through.
SEEK THE LORD ~
With all your heart
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
GOD IS ABLE ~
To handle your now, go ahead and trust him.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
