“For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long, yet, they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (2 Cor 4:17)

Our circumstances can leave us overwhelmed, but they have the power to lead us into God’s glory, for hard trials stir in us more desperation for help. It’s here that we can choose to relinquish our understanding and trust in God’s sovereignty more.

Sovereignty speaks to the view that God has over all things. Think on how His view revealed His glory through Calvary. It didn’t look good, nor did it come easy, but it ended triumphant.

I’ve been so desperate, but I’ve seen His glory in the valleys shine the brightest. Are you desperate? The world will try to tell you He’s absent and not good in the canyons and chaos, but He is forever good.
He is never absent.

Cling to the words, “It is written.”

Remember that God knows the beginning from the end and everything in between. His love is consistent, never changing. Go long, search deep, don’t give up. There's always a sliver of light under the door of your dark place ready to burst forth.

Will you trust more in His sovereignty?

Lord, may we delight ourselves in you and see your glory hovering over everything in the world, and in our worlds. Produce more living hope and expectation in us.

Be overwhelmed by how vast God’s love is, in and over every detail. Overwhelmed By: Big Daddy WeaveMORE LIFE HERE ON BLOG
