Perfect Peace

This week I have been amazed by the presence of God's peace. It is literally all around me. In the midst of all the planning, preparing, and busyness for my father's homegoing, an inner calm has been present that has helped carry me through this difficult time in my life.

I have been reminded of the words of David: I have never seen the righteous forsaken! God has given my family every single thing we needed. I can only stand in amazement at how God orchestrated everything down to the smallest detail. He is truly an Awesome God!

Yes, my heart is hurting. Yes, there are some questions that I don't have answers to. Yes, I am wondering why... Still, God is faithful. Still, I feel His love surrounding me. Still, I have His joy giving me strength to keep going.

When you take the time to build a strong foundation, you will have what you need to face whatever God allows to come your way. When you take the time to develop a relationship with your Heavenly Father, it won't matter how loud the storm gets; you will still hear His voice guiding you through it all.

Make sure you are keeping your spirit in tune with God. Don't allow the troubles and cares of this world to separate you from His love. Even if your skies are blue, you should cling to His hand all the more. Life is full of twists and turns, and you never know what may be on the horizon. Yet, if you remain firmly in the Lord's grasp, your ride will be smooth, and you'll be able to remain steadfast in your journey.

Verse of the Day: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37:25
