“You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you.” Isaiah 26:3 (NCV)
Some days are just hard. The best intentions and plans are set. There is a plan in place for you to walk alongside and make a difference. Then reality sets in and it just isn’t meant to be right now. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen, it just isn’t going to happen right now. Hearts are crushed. Dreams are put on hold. But, God is good and He holds the answers for when and where and it’s not now.
He offers us peace in those moments to continue to move forward. He gives hope in many ways. It could be in the beauty of nature around us, the phone call from a friend or a smile from someone at the grocery store. His Word promises that He will give us true peace when we depend on Him.
Will we trust Him and His timing or will we push ahead for future disappointments because we tried to handle things and our determination won over? My prayer is that we allow God to guide us and trust His timing and enjoy His peace in those tough moments.
“Father, thank you for Your reminders that you are near. May you always help guide us to trust your plan and give us peace in the tough moments.”
For His Glory,
