anything but...

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 

The desperate sub ran in for a copy of "My Lucky Day" for the upcoming lesson plan. We didn't have the book in the library, nor due to my circumstances, did it correctly identify how i was feeling. I felt anything but lucky.  But an hour later, when we unexpectedly found the exact book she wanted when putting up  donated books from a week ago, i felt maybe i had judged my day too swiftly and wrongly... maybe it was my lucky day.

When a sudden flood of failures sweep you off your feet and and terror chokes off your oxygen, anything but lucky fills your thoughts and heart.  Yet, God in His all-knowing power and strength can and will accomplish His Will for the situation and His children.  It might not be our way or in our timing, but His way is always perfect and right.  Our worst day might also become our lucky day too.

Father, many times we just have to believe You and Your promises while putting aside our frail human understanding. It's our lucky day, simply because of Your immense love for us.  Help me rest and breathe in Your Truth.  You are Life.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
