Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.
How many times have we found ourselves in situations where we wished we could snap our fingers and change the situation? Some of us can even lose count of them. And how many times have we asked God to turn things around, especially in situations we created ourselves? We live in a time when we don’t want to face the consequences, and that is not how God operates. The Bible says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7) So we have to experience every season presented to us, but in going through that season, we can rest assured that God is with us all the way.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (BSB): “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.”
Imagine if the Israelites were going through the wilderness and God was not with them. Do you think they would have survived those 40 years? Amidst their rebellion and lack of faith in God, He remained faithful. He was with them. I know that sometimes we find ourselves in situations where it seems like God is not there, but rest assured, “For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with and understand our weaknesses and temptations…”
So let’s take time in our difficult situations to say, “God, we thank You for being with us.” We don’t know what would have happened if we were alone in these situations. Fear could have overcome us, but You have not allowed it. And let us always know that, just because You are not changing our dry season to a wet season, it doesn’t mean You don’t sympathize with or hear us. Your Word says, “Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.” (Isaiah 65:24)
Takeaway: What season of life are you experiencing?
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name. Ameni!
