| "Rejoice in the Lord always... the Lord is near... And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4,5,19 |
Worry over an outcome... tension among a group... anger over a decision... pain from an injury... lingering sickness... deafening loneliness... disappointments and heartaches... another failure... And then on top of that, sweltering days and muggy nights. REJOICE in the Lord, it will change.
In a sea of greenery, it looks out of place. But this premature turning maple tree in my neighborhood is always a welcomed sign. It never fails to dress out in brilliant reds and gold, while we are still in the midst of sufferable heat. And although we can't see or feel the cooler weather now, we are assured a change is coming. Rejoice! The heat we see and are experiencing today is not permanent. My little maple tree reminds me of this... and so does God.
Breathe in a deep breath of fresh air. A change is on the horizon. God had not left us to crumble up or rot. He is stirring things up in us and around us. If you don't see or feel it now, just trust God. The One who has provided for us in the past, will continue in this season and the ones to come.
