Moment By Moment With Him
Sometimes we so easily forget how unpredictable our lives may be. We make plans for our tomorrows and our futures, not realizing they could change instantly. Then one day, you wake up, and it happens. Something occurs that's not at all like you've planned. Your life has now taken a new direction, and it may be difficult for you to understand. God never promised that we'd never have struggles. He never said that there would always be sunshine and not rain. But He said He'd never leave nor forsake us, and with His presence we will forever be sustained. When God takes us from the height of the mountain, and then places us in the valley of despair. Its here we can learn total dependence upon the One who will always be there. Often times it's only through the midst of the trials, we see God works in ways we'd never have dreamed. He accomplishes so much beyond our understanding and now things may not be at all what they'd seemed. We may not know why God allowed such a hardship. We must learn to trust in the One who knows best. For our future is seen by Him only, and in Him we can confidently rest so when the unexpected may arise in our lifetime and the way God is leading seems dim. May we face it not ONE DAY at a time, but instead, MOMENT BY MOMENT with Him.I read this little article and the first thing came to me was these scriptures. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; Lean not unto thine own understanding. Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Sometimes we don't understand why we are going through these things in our life. But our God is working in these situations. He is the midst of it all. He may have us on the potter’s wheel removing something from us that is unpleasing to him. He may be testing our faith and our trust in Him. We know that all things work together for the good to them that love God. As long as we just trust and love Him, God is faithful. We know that these things are going to past and we will come out even better than what we were before if we learn to trust him.
