Well, yesterday, I started learning a new verse, Lamentations 3:22-23, about God's steadfast love even when I think everything is at its worst. Today, my devotion highlighted those verses! Well planned by the writer of the devotional series and scripture memorization plan, but they were really just fulfilling what God already had planned. Amazing!
Verse 21 of Lamentations is key, though. Previous to that verse, it was all about "woe is me." Then verse 21 says "but" and everything changes and the realization that God is at work and always has been sets in. Our pastors keep preaching the importance of the word "but" in scripture...another example of God working in everything!
Everyday, when I focus on myself, I lament; when I focus on God, everything is good! This seems like a no brainer; doesn't it? Yet, daily, I struggle to do this. Yet, daily, God is faithful; The Holy Spirit brings me back to Him every time! Thank you, Father!
