With changing seasons comes change. We often like to plan for these changes and transitions. I’m sure most of us have Summer ’23 planned to boot- from summer camps to vacations. But no matter how much we plan there will ultimately always be things out of our control.
God is not bound to my space nor time and nothing and I mean nothing takes Him off guard. So, take the unexpected plans and run with them because God is already there in the midst of all of the craziness.
Happy Summer!
I recently had the privilege of visiting Israel. I cannot think of a better way to kick off the New Year than being literally where Jesus walked.
I had many sites that I enjoyed like the Wailing Wall and the Upper Room, but for me, there is something very special about the Garden of Gethsemane. I felt this the first time I visited Israel and again this time. Gethsemane is the place Jesus prayed before enduring the cross. For each site there was a devotional. A young man led us in a devotional there and highlighted this verse:
“He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Matthew 26:39 (NKJV)
I don’t always like to do the hard stuff, but sometimes that is exactly what God is calling us to do. The very thing we don’t want to do. The route that takes longer. As we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior this weekend let us remember even Jesus said not my will but yours Lord. Let us each have that level of obedience to follow God even when we do not feel like it.
Here at LifeSongs Radio, we say “God is good all the time.” And movies like God’s Not Dead say things like, “God is good all the time and all the time God is good.”
These are great sayings and the words could not be more true.
I know this to be true because of the words in the Bible and all of the amazing songs we play on LifeSongs. But I have to admit I sometimes have a hard time believing the words “God is good” when life gets tough.
When unforeseen circumstances happen in my life.
When I witness tragedy after tragedy.
I find my praises to God going from “God you are so good” to questioning “God, are you good?”
I’m a thinker and I have always asked “why?”
Answers to my many questions will most likely never go answered, but in the midst of my questions, my hurting, and how I may perceive things-my God is good.
Matthew 5:45 (NLT) says, “In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.”
Just because we live a life for Christ does not mean we will be free from burdens, free from pain, or free from brokenness.
But the wonderful thing about the goodness of God is that He promises to be with us in the midst of the storms of life.
And man oh man, does that make Him so so good!
The beauty and peace of walking with God is that He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
Today, be uplifted. Fix your eyes on Jesus instead of the issues of life and recognize in the midst of rain and unexpected circumstances that God is with you and wants to be your JOY through your trial.
Cling to him, trust Him, and never let your circumstances change your perspective of how good our Heavenly Father truly is!
