Almost every morning I’ve been waking up with a praise song on my mind. Sometimes it’s the same one two days in a row, and other times, like today, it was a new song. I started singing “Way Maker. As the words began to form in my mind, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness. He is the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness and He is working even when I don’t see it.
In the midst of these uncertain times and the personal struggles I’m facing, I am thankful that He is not surprised by what’s happening. He has a plan for each of us and His love and provision do not depend on our economy or even how long we have to “shelter in”. As a people person, this time at home is bordering on crazy making, but it has also been refreshment to my soul. Instead of asking “why me”, God is prompting me to ask Him what He’s trying to teach me about myself and about what’s in my heart during this time.
The days have begun to run together, and the date eludes me until I pull out my calendar (yes, I still use a paper calendar). Today it dawned on me that tomorrow is Good Friday. The day we remember Christ’s death on the cross to save us from our sins. I am in awe of how God sent His only Son to die for you and for me. He made a perfect world, then sin came to destroy that world, BUT Jesus came to restore and heal it. His salvation is a free gift, not to be earned, as there is nothing we could ever do to be good enough. All we have to do is say yes to the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness, for Him to heal our brokenness and mend our hearts.
Will you say yes today? And if you’ve already said yes, what is God teaching you in this moment? How will you share His love with others today? For me, it’s taking a big leap to be vulnerable enough to share what I believe with others, not worrying about what someone might think of me, because honestly, it’s not about me. Want to talk? Feel free to reach out. I’ve got time.
