Today's blog is a little different. I've searched for a topic, an analogy, a story of some sort and while I have many thoughts and ideas, nothing can compare with the need and desire I have today to simply say, God is good all the time. All the time, God is good.
I'm in a rough patch in my life right now. Just when I think things can't get any worse it seems they somehow do. Yet, I am reminded daily that God is here with me. He shows His love and His provision for me over and over and over again. And He shows it in ways that just completely blow me away. He answers my prayers before I pray them, He meets my needs before I know I have them, and I am blessed beyond measure.
I keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason and I just have to trust God to show me His plans and one day I'll realize the reason for going through this difficult phase of my life. It's not always the easiest thing to do but daily conversations and daily affirmations of His hand on my life carries me through.
Two of my favorite scriptures are Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) ""For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.""
and Psalm 37:4 (NASB) "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
I am reminded daily - in large and small ways - that God is in control of my life. "He's got this," my sweet sweet boyfriend reminded me over the phone last night after sharing with him how God had blown me away with His provision for me yesterday. And he's right - God's got this. He's got my life in the palm of His hand. And I'm so grateful!
God is good all the time. All the time, God is good!
Question of the day: Can you see God's provision in your life? Do you give Him the proper recognition?
