What are you pursuing?
God is my essential pursuit.
He is what I need most.
He is what makes me happy.
Life does not.
Chasing after things does not.
Seeing so much pain around me makes my brain offer “let’s stay in bed.”
I thought that this morning.
I cried.
I’m feeling helpless.
Yet, I know I’m not.
That thought is not helping me in any way.
God is my helper.
He’s always with me.
I need Him the most.
I’m thankful He is always with me.
I asked Him last night,
What do you want me to do, I don’t know what to do.
I’m still waiting on the answer.
Waiting.
I want to wait well.
Not let my feelings of upset take over & keep me in bed.
I can’t control someone else’s pain & suffering.
I can only control my stories, what I make it mean & think about.
What makes me feel powerful?
Thinking about God.
Thinking His word.
Thinking His promises.
Holding onto His promises.
The song by Brandon Lake,
“Don’t you give up on me,”
I’m listening to it on repeat.
God has more plans, more dreams, more blessings for me & the person I love who is suffering.
My strength is in my hope in Christ & my faith.
That’s where I find it when my brain offers me feelings that forget God’s promises.
What’s essential for you today?
God or something else.
Put Him back to essential,
If He’s slipped out of that for you.
Pursuing God,
I can control that.
It feels a whole lot better than staying stuck in “I don’t know what to do.”
I love you.
Thanks for reading.
He loves you the most.
