Whatever you and your love ones are up against this day, rest assured you can find help through Jesus. God loves us way too much to leave us the way we are. God molds and shapes us as we deal with the storms as we go from one season to another.
Max Lucado wrote, "A season of suffering is a small price to pay for a clear view of God." I thank God for showing me the seasons of pain I go through are to make me better and they have brought me closer to him. The short days of discomfort for me pass and the good effects of my changing are everlasting.
Lucado also wrote, "God never promised to remove us from our struggles. He does promise, however, to change the way we look at them." Instead of complaining and saying, "When is this going to end?" We need to quietly and patiently wait on the Lord. God changes our situation when his purpose in putting us through something has been accomplished.
"Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5 NIV) All praise and glory to Almighty God, maker of heaven and earth. Praise to King Jesus!
There are better days ahead. Matt Redman sings in 'You Never Let Go', "I can see the light that is comin' for the heart that holds on." Hang on and wait in great anticipation for that glorious day that the light comes for you.
Let's give God thanks in everything and praise him as we anticipate the GREAT things to come. "Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; his love endures forever." (Psalm 118:1 NIV)
