Lately it seems that there has been a bombardment of high emotions in my life. Things that rise me as high as the stars and others that seem to drag at my heart with the weight of a thousand lead elephants. I seek to remain steadfast. Not to be swayed back and forth so much as I would become disoriented but rather that I learn to feel and also to trust the Lord. There are many question of why things happen the way they do and why we do not know what is coming up. Sometimes it would seem so much easier if God would just tell us what's up. He is all powerful and it is within his power to do so, but he doesn't. He does give us a heads up in regards if there is something incandescently happy or earth-shatteringly devastating up next. That is where trust and faith comes in. We must stay in him and in constant reliance and praise. He is the one that is at work in us and he is the one that orchestrating everything towards his glory and for the good of those who love him. So I will lift my voice in thanks no matter what the situation and continue to turn my heart to him, praying that he makes my heart soft to do so.
In the happy, may He be praised!
That this is a taste of the joy of heaven and new life to come.
In the challenging, may He by praised!
That this is shapes us in the person that God intends us to be.
Amen.
