Before too many people run away with assumptions, my personal life is fine! Actually great! :) I'm writing about a situation that has occurred at my local home church over this past weekend. I won't go into details on a blog, because I want to respect the privacy of the people involved. Everything that has happened though has definitely caused me to run to God, and to think, ponder, pray and view "church life" in a way, on such a new level.
When things in life catch us off guard, I know it didn't catch God off guard. I keep striving to align my heart with the fact that God isn't surprised by our sin, lies, mistakes...etc. He sees all, and is in all. Therefore, I know that He will have everything work out in a way that will honor and bring glory to His name. Even when we feel like things are spinning out of control, He has the whole situation in the palm of His hands. Our job is to find that calm in His arms and in His presence. Sometimes it doesn't help to continue asking questions or try to figure out the 'how's' & 'why's' in our own minds. Just trust God & rest.
...He has good plans for us. Goodness & mercy will follow us all the days of our lives...
