As I sit and write this, my mind is array with many thoughts with the happenings of life within the last week. Yet, I am amidst two different scripture verses as I try and sort out life and what our Lord is revealing to me.
I Corinthians 2:8-10 "But, as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him' to these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."
Romans 8:24b-25 "Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patients."
Talk about powerful stuff!! At times when we struggle through the trials of life, we wonder where God is in all of it. As hard as it is to tell, God is at the CENTER of it all. He promises in scripture to never leave or forsake His children. What a comforting thought!
I have never found myself crying out to Christ for mercy as I have these past few days. As life has taken a few substancial curves, I have found myself completely broken before God. As I sat in the tractor the other day in tears, pleading to Christ for strength to carry me through what He is doing. It has been quite sometime since I have felt that weak and in such need of Christ's strength. Yet, I was reminded of the passage of scripture in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 talking about when we are weak, HE is strong. Yes, I realize that I could pray for things to be different, but that would be selfish as I would be putting my desires and wants in front of how God is desiring me to glorify Him through this trials.
