God's Plan
There isn't one day in your life (past, present, or future) that God didn't know you would come to, that He didn't already have a plan to bring you through! Yes! You heard that correctly, but I'll repeat it for you... There isn't one day in your life (past, present, or future) that God didn't know you would come to, that He didn't already have a plan to bring you through! He knew your path before you came out the womb. He already made provisions for every step and every moment of your life. Even the situations and days that seemed to catch you off guard, and rock your world, He already knew about those too! Nothing catches God by surprise. That's why it's critical to trust God, even in the moments that don't make sense. He's crafted every single detail and moment in your life. He knew (and knows) what you need/don't need, who would be there and who wouldn't, who would do "xyz", who would be seasonal, monumental, transitional, etc. He knew (knows) the obstacles you would face, and already has victory mapped out for you. You've just got to BELIEVE!
“Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”
Trust Him when it hurts. Trust Him when things look cloudy or bleak. It's easy to trust Him when things are going well, but what about those times when things aren't so well? Continue to "show up" with hopeful anticipation of seeing Him do a great work in your life. I promise you that all of what you're going through WILL work out for your good. The pieces alone won't make sense, but everything will come together like a great work of art. I know for a fact, that if you show up, you'll see how He was already there! You'll see how immense His love truly is for you.
Be Encouraged & Be Blessed!
