“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth; so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

Sometimes, we have expectations of what should happen in our lives. And, when things don’t work out as planned, we become weary. We have difficulty looking beyond the distraction of disappointment and forget to maintain a heart that trusts. 

Distractions rob us of content. We become focused on what we WANT and forget God provides what we NEED. In the timing of His will, He orchestrates the love of His faithfulness and provides the way for us to find PEACE as He handles our days. 

Jesus leads us to the Father. He extends His arms of strength and leads us back where we belong. He renews our thoughts and helps us focus on Him. He shows how to put God first in our lives and reminds us to remember He knows what’s best for our lives. 

Life will not always take us where we want to go. But, God will bless us by the power of His plan. He will ready us to see how it feels for HOPE to guide our days. He will open the eyes of our hearts and help us recognize His greatness. And, He will help us never forget; He is worthy of our TRUST.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Help us open the eyes of our hearts to ALL You provide in Your time and for great purpose. You know our EVERY need. We will trust You to handle the happenings of our days. And we will find strength from PEACE that comes from a grateful heart. Amen
