At the start of this week…
As we sorrow, lament, and mourn so much death, loss, and suffering, remember, our Lord Jesus is greater still. He never promised we wouldn’t experience pain in this life, but He promised His felt presence and power to walk us through it, over it, and out of it. Remember, the Lord tenderly holds our every tear in His nail-scarred hand, and He knows a thing or two about suffering. He is the only One who can provide us with peace.
As we face tasks, duties, and deadlines, let’s keep our hearts and minds saturated with God’s Word and faithfulness. As we encounter obstacles, red lights, speed bumps, and yes, ornery people, let’s invite the Holy Spirit’s fullness to invade our being and splash over to the weary hearts we encounter. Let’s let Him fill us up, pour us out, and come back to the well His presence that will never run dry.
This is a week of new beginnings, hopes to be realized, and miracles to watch for. Keep your eyes open, your heart tender, and your mind from distraction. This week will be astounding in Jesus because He Who is in you is greater than anything! 1 John 4:4
