"We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness." -Francis Chan
I've heard people say, "What if what you are going through is preparing you for what is to come?" I'm learning that it's not "what if" at all. It is preparing you. In many crisis that I have experienced, I've found myself at odds with the moment... Fighting to understand, questioning why, angry with God. Trying to question my way out of it instead of dealing and accepting that there is a reason for it. God's reason, not mine. God's timing, not mine. Yesterday during bible study this very topic came up. We must believe in God's miracles vs resting on our doubt. Understanding that God already knows when we will question Him, even before we do. It's ok to seek understanding. God will lay out the plan, but then it's on us. We have to do our part. Faith isn't a switch we turn on and off. It's an everyday thing we must commit to and work on. I've said it before: it's not enough to go with God, we must be willing to grow with Him. In the good times, the bad times, in the light, in the dark, in calm waters, through the storms. All of it is part of our journey. A journey God already knows how it can end and is waiting for us... We just have to be willing to do what it takes in faith, in prayer, in love to get there.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that if you are in a place of uncertainty, know that through God all is certain. Put your faith in Him and trust that where you are headed He will be there.
Have a blessed, safe, and healthy week all.
