He will do us no wrong

These words came back to mind today. My spirit needs to remember…maybe yours does as well.

God is asking me to trust Him a little more, open my hands a little wider, further peal back my fingers, lay down my desires once again, and place my eyes squarely on Him.

But that’s a scary place.

It’s a place I know will include more dying to self and what this world says will bring me happiness… but not just what the world says, but it also means letting go of what I’ve said, and thought, and believed were okay things to hold on to…it means surrendering even those “good” things I’ve been hoping for.

And if I still cling to my “good things”, if I still cling to anything or anyone more than Jesus…I will miss His best and forsake the eternal things He wants to continue to do in and through me.

I believe God will perfectly, abundantly provide what my heart needs each day.

But right now, my mind can’t imagine what life will look like without some of the people, and some of the things I hold dear.

But Christ is enough for He, who is timeless, is already in that future moment filling every space with His life-giving presence and purpose.

I don’t need to worry. I can trust Him.

Yes, life changes. Kids grow up. Jobs move us. Culture gets crazier. Material possessions can’t be counted on. Beauty fades. Health declines. People we love die. Friendships come and go.

Everything about this breath-of-a-life changes.

It all changes.

But God.

He is the Rock—steady in the storms and in the life changes we fear.

He is always faithful.

He does not change.

His plans remain completely good and His purposes cannot be thwarted.

And He will sweetly lead us through each new situation as we keep our eyes on Him.

He will do us no wrong.

Not ever!

And the truth is, when we surrendered our lives in exchange for His, we became His.

We belong to Him.

And (our always good) God can do whatever He wants with what belongs to Him.

Our job is to simply obey our Faithful Father each day and each new season life brings.

His job is EVERYTHING else.

And we need to remember…we really can trust God, who has always been faithful in the past, and go on with Him …

wherever He may lead as He leads us Home. ❤️
