God’s grace is amazing! Do you realize that? Lately, I have been overwhelmed by the presence of God’s grace in my life. I am amazed that I can get up every morning and trust that God has my life in His hands. Yes, I’ve shed my share of tears lately-but I am over and over reminded that God is enough. He has provided for me in some awesome ways. And although my dad is still jobless-I know this is part of His plan too. If for no other reason then to bring me to a place of utter reliance on God. Right now-I have no idea how things are going to turn out. I have no idea where the money I need is going to come from or where my life is going to go. All I am sure of is that my God is good. And He causes all things to work for the good of those who love Him. Is it easy? No Can I say I have been joyful in all things? No But I have been reminded over and over that my joy comes from God. As the psalmist said-“The Joy of the Lord is my Strength!” I heard a saying the other day; it went something like-God may not always be on time but He is never late. In my mind-I would have liked my dad to get a job the day after he lost it. But I guess God had a different idea in mind. And I am glad that He has-I truly am. I have come to a place of reliance on God and He has continued to humble me. I hate asking for help-knowing I’m on the receiving end of aid..but it is my pride that causes those feelings. Instead of being ashamed, I have learned to be thankful. I have learned that only God can provide. Even if He is providing through others-He is still providing. So I am praying and waiting-God will not fail. He promised to never leave nor forsake me. I am hiding in the shadow of His wings and trusting in Him as my rock.
