I will admit, this morning I struggled getting up, along with my two roommates. But God gave me another day-thanks God! It was one of those mornings. I knew I needed to give God my first 30, so while laying in bed, I prayed that God would give me the strength to get up and move on with my day. Although I am the typical "crazy" morning person, I do struggle at times. I got up, grabbed my Bible, and went to the prayer room. I started out by praying: there are so many things to pray for; I prayed for some of my friends who are hurting, family, my relationship with Him, His plans, etc. Then I opened up my Bible to Isaiah 54. Verses 5-13 really stuck out to me:
Reading verse 5 was really cool. "For your Maker is your husband, for the Lord of hosts is his name, and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called". God is all I need in my life, I don't need a husband, a family of my own (although I hope to have both of those someday), I just need God. He is my REDEEMER! Another verse that really stuck out to me was verses 10-12:
"For the mountains my depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you. O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones".
God has such a great plan for each of us, but we don't always see and realize it. There are going to be many trials and tribulations in our lives, but God's plan will always prevail. This passage really reassured me that God knows what is going on, even though I don't at the moment. To be honest, I have no clue what God is doing with my plans right now and why He is changing them, but I know it is for my good. His plan will eventually unfold, but in His timing, not ours.
With Blessings,
Heather
