This is a great way for me to describe God’s work in my life over the last few days. Only God can take the juggling balls of life and bring them together in an entertaining way. I have enjoyed the “aha” moments as projects, people, and processes come together. Seeing the fingerprint of God on my schedule this last week has been encouraging. If I could personalize a verse I would say, “I know that in all things God works for my good and I love him for it, having been called according to his purpose. And I know that in all things God works for my good, I love him, and He called me according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28 (sort-of)
I am not saying we are without conflict or trials: my wife’s health, Micah’s continued concerns, four children, a wonderful growing church, and a myriad of responsibilities to keep. My peace and contentment comes in walking in the Spirit. Maybe a better way to say it would be working in the Spirit, I can see how much God does the heavy lifting. I feel like an apprentice of my own life and God is teaching me what I need for the job to get done the right way.
Now granted, things don’t always work this way, but I rejoice in every moment as it comes. I pray God shows up in your schedule this week and brings you the peace and contentment you need. No matter how much, or how hard, God knows how much help we need.
Working together in Christ,
Kelly
