Victory In Christ

God fits everything into a pattern for our good.

Have you heard of the devotional book “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young.  For many years, Kathy and I read daily selections from this book. This one below from last month’s readings seems especially relevant to today’s challenges and blessings.

Let me share a few lines from with you. Hear our Lord speak directly to your heart through the following paraphrased Bible passages:

“Come to Me for rest and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life. 

“Remember that I fit everything into a pattern for your good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, that this is where I intend you to be. Rest in Me and My love for you. You will get through today, one step and one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to Me, letting Me guide you through the many choices along your pathway.” 

Romans 8:28 in The Passion Translation: “So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill His designed purpose.”

And Psalms 37:7: “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”
