The past week has been a little
blurry. Trips to the ER and text updates and preschool volunteering and of
course the care of two littles and their activities and has filled my days. It
was a trying week but God has been so faithful. No matter how physically
exhausted or tired, he always blesses. He blesses the conversations and keeps it
going a bit more and allows rest and keeps giving peace that transcends all
understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). He constantly leaves little blessings and
reassurance throughout the day. One of the verses on my phone this week was Ecclesiastes
11:5:
As you do not know the path of the wind, or
how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the
Maker of all things.
It was such a beautiful reminder
and made me laugh. I never understand God's plans but I know he works for the
good of those who love him and that is enough for me to know (Romans 8:28). It
is one thing to say we trust him but another to get the opportunity to live it
out. To see it played out as you trust him to do good. To do good in the health
of loved ones. To do good in work relationships. In children's decisions. In your
life. He is doing good. Can you see
it?
Can you see him weaving his
goodness in to your moments and hours and days? Can you see it this Christmas
season? Can you see it in the humble
birth and teachings of Jesus who died to save humanity? To save you. Cloverton's song, A Hallelujah Christmas, is a beautiful
rendition of this. Have a listen.
I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
Praying that your eyes will continued
to be opened to see glimpses of God's mysteries in your life. Praying that whatever
you are going through that you will be able to trust God. Truly trusting in His
word and what he promises. They are not empty or void but full of life. Praying
that you would be able to see the development of your faith as you cling to
them and that you would come out with more than you knew you had.
Praying that you would focus on
Jesus and all that he has done in your life as you celebrate Christmas. Praying
that you would find hallelujahs throughout your day and praise God.
Here's to more hallelujahs and
trusting.
