"But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
~II Chron 15:7~
When I woke up this morning, I only had 1 word on my heart-"stay". And this verse was in my devotion book. Last night was a little restless for me. I got up 4 times to check on a sick child. And I dreamed the entire night, random things that that the Lord hasn't revealed anything special about so far. I think it was the result of a trying week & weekend, my mind just hadn't unwound. If I've ever witnessed" God in control", I did last week. I've shared with you how God has been pushing me to a deeply trust with Him. I experienced the peace & power that deeper trust brings last week. I watched the devil try to get his foot into a pastor's life, into the church's future, into a relationship & into my future, all simultaneously! Yet, in the center of it all, I "just knew" everything would be ok. I knew, not because of the power of my positive thinking, but because of the power of His profound promises. There were still tense moments, some tears, & even the normal questions your mind asks when you face adversity. Yet, under it all, there was just calm. Knowing the will of God & standing on it, even when it makes no sense to human eyes, will always win. Jesus was victorious last week, in all areas. So, when you face something & you don't know where to be . . . Just stay. Stay in the center of God's will. It's the safest, most sure place on earth.
