Greetings to all, let us thank God for the renewed confidence of faith and hope for the things not yet seen that He gives to us for another day's journey. Amen
In this life, everything can and will change; we are blessed that we serve an unchangeable God. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who Changes for no one.
Isaiah 14:27 (TLB)
27 The Lord, the God of battle, has spoken—who can change his plans? When his hand moves, who can stop him?"
During our lifetime, there will be those times when we will not understand God's plans, and they will not always be clear to us. It is doing these times when we need to hold on to our faith and wait on the Lord.
Hebrews 11:1-3 (NLT2)
1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
2 Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
3 By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
Isaiah 40:31 (NCV)
31 But the people who trust the LORD will become strong again. They will rise up as an eagle in the sky; they will run and not need rest; they will walk and not become tired.
Lesson: Jesus once told His disciple Peter: "You don't understand now why I am doing it; someday you will (John 13:7)."
Our God has the best plans, and He never has a bad plan. Although sometimes the process He uses can be painful and may hurt, it will be worth the wait.
