Psalm 138:8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever--do not abandon the works of your hands.
Today I am bogged down by all of the little things that I am waiting for in my life. I am disappointed in the way some things have gone and I am looking for a word of hope in what I know about God's will. This verse is a good reminder for me that God is in the midst of the trial and that there is purpose in the struggle. The soul growth that comes from the struggle is deeper than any other. We must come to God in those times and it forces us to look at Him directly. We can waste our time trying to find ways that we can step in and make God's will happen, but if we make it happen, then it truly isn't God's will. It very quickly becomes our will. I must be reminded of God's plan and purpose for my life and then ask God not to abandon me when I take over. I must surrender in the struggle. It is God's job to see me to completion in ways that only He knows and in His time. He is growing me through the struggle so that when He fulfills His purpose, I am prepared for the next step of the journey. My only job is to stay connected to the One who holds my life in His hands.
