He loves you, is with you, and guiding you
“Even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).” Ephesians 2:5 AMP
So grateful for the continuous REminder that nothing is too hard for God. Whatever we are going T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak), as the title of Osteen’s message today, “It’s No Match for You”. Osteen says, “You don't stand toe to toe to look that enemy in the eye. That enemy is not at your level. It may seem so tough that you can't defeat it. But the truth is, it's no match for you.” Let us REmember that our lives and all situations are in God’s hands, and He can do all things but fail; we only have to trust in Him.
Song of Solomon 5
Song of Solomon 5 speaks to “The Torment of Separation”, but REminds those who BElieve that there is one especially kept, as written in verses 10 and 16, “…who is exquisitely handsome and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand…. altogether lovely and desirable.…. my beloved and this is my friend.”
REflection from Promises for Your Everyday Life
As the title of Meyer’s message, we must “Accept God’s Timing”. She says, “God gives us hopes and dreams for certain things to happen in our lives, but He doesn't always allow us to see the exact timing of His plan.” She goes further to say, “Exodus 13:17-18 tells us that God led the Israelites the longer, harder way on their journey to the Promised Land because He knew they were not yet ready to go in. There had to be time for their training, and they had to go through some very trying situations.” What a gentle REminder yet again that what we go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. is only preparing me and you, and we can trust that He will take care of us and all things will work out in His timing for me and you. Fret not and REmember Ecclesiastes 9:11 and focus to enJOY the JOurneY.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us worship Him with awe-filled reverence, and not as fear is defined in a worldly context, and live by the unwavering guideposts He’s provided for our lives.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
He loves you, is with you, and guiding you, my friend.
