Paving the Way for Peace and Healing

I have had a really rough week, but God in His infinite wisdom was paving the way for peace and healing.  All of my daily Bible reading this week has been reminding me that God knows all that is ahead for me, good and bad.  He has been preparing me, little by little, for the hard things in life.  He didn’t let it be dumped on me all at once where the load would be too heavy.  He knew I couldn’t handle that, so He stretched me a little at a time until I was able to bear what was in store.  Thank you Lord for strengthening me.  May I be more like You day by day.

God's Plan for Me

God knows our highs and our lows.  He is there for us all the way.  We never have to walk the road alone, but sometimes that is what we choose.  We think we can handle things on our own.  How wrong we are!  God makes everything much easier.  He knows what is ahead.  Even when we don’t understand why things happen the way they do, God knows and is in control. 

I don’t need to know what lies ahead.  All I need to be concerned with is what God wants me to do at this very moment.  The way that I react to situations shows what kind of child of God that I am.  Am I faithful?  Do others see His light in my life? 

I know at times I fail God.  It breaks my heart when I do, but I have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and move forward.  I have to strive day by day to walk the path He has chosen for me.  He wants me to have peace.  Dear Lord let it be!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
