“God’s plans for your life far exceed the circumstances of your day”
No matter what situation you’re in, no matter what challenges you face every day; God is always and will always be bigger. He will always be stronger. He will always be there.
Awhile ago I came across a quote that said something like this, “If you believe God has a purpose for your life, then you must believe that He will bring you there also.” How true is that? At the end of each day, we must choose to believe – truly believe – that God has a plan and that he is walking alongside of us, taking us to where we need to be and changing us into who he needs us to be. No matter what we faced that day; every day can throw a curve ball and every week can feel like a kick in the stomach when things seem to be going downhill, but God is always bigger and he will always be stronger then the pulls coming against us.

Choose to be thankful. There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. In my daily life – though it’s so easy to forget and it’s so easy to take much for granted, I have much to be thankful for. I am blessed. My life just looks different from those around me, but God has blessed me greatly. If you are constantly comparing your life, your possessions, and your accomplishments to others around you – you will always find someone who is ‘better off’. Who are you trying to please? God calls us to be thankful for what we have and to use our blessings to glorify him. We are called to live righteously... whether we are rich or poor – it doesn’t really matter. Live a life pleasing to the Lord. Riches don’t mean blessings, even the rich can earn their treasures in an unrighteous way – are we trying to please God? Or are we just trying to be rich? I guess in the end we need to truly be thankful – truly realize and believe that we have immeasurably more then what we deserve – and live life in a way that gives all that we have and all that we are back to God.
No matter what – God can and He will. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, how high a status, how popular or known you are. It doesn’t matter how beautiful you are considered to be, it doesn’t matter how healthy you are, it doesn’t matter where you live or who you live with. It doesn’t matter the challenges you face, the inflictions put upon you – God can work through anything. At the end of each day, no matter how frustrated you are or how happy you are – God is there. There is no need to feel alone when life is hard, and there is no need to walk alone when life is great... God is always there. Don’t allow your idea of ‘good’ to be affected by money or success or accomplishments in the world eyes. Live for God alone. He will take you places and he will carry you when you fall. His plans cannot be thwarted. Seek him and him alone.
Thank you for your words. I trust in this idea and do my best to live in the moment that God has created. He knows better. It is certainly hard when you are faced with a crisis. When the call comes in and they tell you your daughter has a rare cancer. When the future is now changed from what you thought it was supposed to be. When your faith is challenged and you ask why, but have a knowing that in that why is where God exists. He lives in the why's of life, if you choose to exam them. Thanks again and wish my daughter life through prayer and the power of the almighty.
