one at a time

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

 What looks like a dead end or disaster to you is not. 

One day at a time, one trial at a time, one disappointment at a time, one mess at a time  -- God is with us. No matter what our ones are in life, we always have The One with us. We are never, never alone. 

While this is comforting, it's also helpful to remember God is never caught by surprise. He knows and has prepared perfectly for all our moments.  What we see as the end is actually the beginning of something new with God. In time what we don't see or understand will be revealed to us.  Then our "but why" moments will transform into our "aha" faith moments.  Just wait on Him and see.

Thank You, Father, for staying, sticking, and surviving with me in each moment.  You are The One for me, always!

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
