At the beginning of the year, I fasted along with members of my family.
We believed it would be the best year for all of us.
So far, it's been one of the hardest.
I guess I thought after fasting, everything would magically fall into place. But it hasn't.
I was getting a little discouraged until God reminded me of something Beth Moore said in my Bible study this week.
God always had the upper hand.
Even when things look bleak, God's got it under control and will turn it around. Then she made another great point. I'm paraphrasing but basically she said that we'll never know the thrill of God coming through for us if we don't have what seems like an impossible issue staring at us right in the face.
Well...I've had a lot of those lately so I guess I'm going to see God come through in some big ways this year.
I just hope it's sooner than later.
And in the meantime, I'll remember that God has the upper hand.
What a great post! I feel so encouraged by everything you said and I agree 100%. I just know without a doubt that GOD is up to something big!! Halleujah!
ReplyDeleteDitto. I was semi-mocking God about the horrible year but He called my toes to the line last week. Didn't change the circumstances but definitely changed my attitude.
