One of my favorite Fee songs!
A great quote from our youth camp this past week:
Your faith will not be defined when life goes according to plan. Your faith will be defined when everything falls apart!
So when do you feel closest to God? Is it when you think His blessing is on you very strongly? Is it when you are able to keep your head above water but just barely? Or is it when nothing is going right and you wish you were someone else?
Remember that when our steps take us away from His path for us, we are bound for tough times. His path isn’t always without struggle, it is just always under His care.
So is life treating you fair? Show the world your faith!
Matthew 11:2-6, tells of when John the Baptist was in prison about to be killed. He sent to ask Jesus if He really was the Messiah or should they be looking for someone else. Jesus sent word back, telling John things that John already knew. Reminding Him that many miracles had taken place and of many things Jesus had done for others. But He didn’t tell John to expect a rescue.
In essence, he said, “John, I did all of this. You KNOW who I am. But the plan for you, and for me, is death. Walk honorably.”
Life isn’t always fair or fun. Sometimes, it is downright painful. Take heart. God is still in control.
Walk honorably!
