1 Peter 1:6-7 NIV ~ “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. [7] These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
Sometimes things come to interrupt you at the most inopportune time, and it can be downright exhausting, but I have come to realize that no matter what life brings, Jesus is all you need! Say this out loud to yourself, For this “I have Jesus.” You can find refuge from life’s care in Jesus, He fully understands your soul’s deep longing. And just know, I totally understand how you feel right now, but when you feel like this, you need to quiet yourself down (count to ten backwards and take your deep breaths in between) and say, For this I have Jesus! And immediately your focus will would return, and you will be centered. You can do this as many times as you need it!
God uses everything in your life the good, the bad, and the ugly and the not so to produce you! to Once you understand this, your life will begin to make sense. It’s like this, when you come to the end of yourself, you will understand your new self! Stop asking God why, He knows why, just say thank You Lord, You are preparing me for the long run! He is preparing you for eternity! As a believer in Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior, He is the One who is with you through the fire and the through water, the One who is going to bring you out to a fullness of joy! As you travel through these journeys and you are going through, remind yourself of who you are, you are a child of the Most High God and He got you!
This that you are going through, remind yourself that it’s only for a little while. So no matter what you are enduring a great trial of affliction, remember, for this you have Jesus! You have found a refuge from life’s care in Jesus, you are hiding in His love divine; He fully understands your soul’s deep longing, And He whispers softly, “Thou art Mine.” For this you have Jesus! Remember God knew you would feel this way even before He formed you in your mother’s womb, Jeremiah 1:5! For this you have Jesus! For this you have Jesus! For this you have Jesus! Repeat this over and over again to yourself and when you look up again you will be on the other side of the fire. I love you and I’m praying for you and your strength today!
Today, do something now, and stop looking for perfect conditions, it’s not going to happen in perfect conditions! It’s when I began to do, that God began to show what He had been doing in the background! It’s when you come to the end of yourself that you come to the beginning of yourself!
Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, thank You for Your Word and Wisdom. Father teach me to come to You and believe You and expect You to move in my life and tell me what You desire of me. Father, I want exactly what You want, today and every day. Father, fill me with Your Wisdom and with all the Wisdom I get give me understanding that I will know what to do and when to do it! Father, I want to be in Your Will, for I know that there is no safety outside of Your Will. Father, show me what You want me to do, and I will serve You faithfully for the rest of my life. In the Majestic Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
