My Times are in His Hands

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
There is a time for every season in our lives, and God is our ultimate guide through those seasons.
Sometimes we may know exactly what the next step is, and we long to spring into action before God gives us the green light. Or on the other hand, sometimes we may know God has given us the nudge to move along, yet we choose to dig our heels into the ground.
Change can be scary, especially if we’re going from a comfortable season into a new one of uncharted territory.
However, knowing that God is with us even in the unknown, we can have peace. We can trust Him in every season, familiar and new. Exciting and scary.
The course of our lives is in His power!
“My times are in thy hand…” –Psalms 31:15
Wherever the Lord leads you, choose to cling to Him no matter what. He’s got you, and He’s not letting you go. Ever!
He holds every one of our moments in His hands, and since He knows what’s best for us, we can choose to follow Him wherever He leads in delightful obedience.
Have you been stepping into a new season lately?
How do you feel? Are you excited? Scared? Unsure?
How do you feel? Are you excited? Scared? Unsure?
Whatever is on the other side of the new season, you can know that everything will be okay because He is going with you and before you!
When I read this devotion it blessed me so much. We are all facing a season in our lives and our seasons all look very different but one thing is the same, everything will be okay, because just as todays devotions explains so powerfully, He is going with you and before you. Hallelujah! What more reassurance is needed.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

God’s Hidden Hand

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalms 139:16)
Do you sometimes wonder where God is leading you? Psalm 139:16 acknowledges God’s sovereign hand in our lives: “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” We don’t know how God will use the circumstances of our life, but we can rest in the knowledge that God knows everything about us and is directing our footsteps. Though His sovereign hand may seem hidden, He’s never absent.
Dear Lord, help me to trust You even when I don’t understand. Amen.
Although shorter than usual I felt this devotion was powerful and uplifting. If you find yourself in a valley today, asking God why and not understanding, as today’s devotions says, rest in what you do know, that God knows everything about you and He is directing your footsteps. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (Galatians 6:9). What steps can you take to discern God’s leading or to act on His call for your life? Be encouraged today.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
Today’s Reading is Jeremiah 33:3
