Hold On

When burdens seem too heavy for you to bear...
When your heart is overwhelmed and nothing will calm it...
When life's storms push you to the edge...
When your thoughts are consumed with worry...
When you don't know how things are going to turn out...
When there's no one there who really understands & you feel alone...
When you've given your all and it doesn't seem good enough...
When you have reached your breaking point...

Isaiah 40:28-31
²⁸Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.²⁹He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. ³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: ³¹But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

He knows what's best...

On this journey we will come to places in our lives where we will question God's will and even His commands that He gives us. Our flesh doesn't want to be told what to do. Hence, we struggle with the will of God. We begin to say we want out. Pack our spiritual bags and give God 2 fingers. All because our flesh wants to do otherwise. But, even when you don't understand what He's telling you to do, God knows what's best! You have to know at all times and in all circumstances in your life that God's will is good.

Will you let go of the very thing you feel closest to? That thing that you are deeply rooted to. That thing you depend on most. That thing that has a stronghold on you. At all cost and in spite of how you feel, God wants to know that you will do anything and let go of anything for Him.

An eternal yes is what we need to give Him. And even after your yes you still may be hurting. Saying yes doesn't necessarily take away the pain. It's through your gradual walk and acceptance of His will that you begin to heal. Your yes will be tested and tried. But know this, that the safest place you can be, is in His will. And in His will is victory to overcome any and everything.
