I saw this on the Proverbs 31 ministries web page today and I wanted to put it down in a few places where I could come back to and get reminded. I read this today and like so many times I felt like I had conquered this difficult situation that keeps lingering, and then I go to a place where there should be no reminder of the situation only to find it "thrown into my face" once again. I guess I have to realize from now until forever it will be there. Sometimes I wish God would just "do something" but I guess I just need to re-read this every day;
- God loves us and He will not leave us.
- This battle isn’t ours. The battle belongs to the Lord. Let Him fight for you. Save your emotional energy and use it to dig into His Word like never before. Our job is to be obedient to God. God’s job is winning this battle.
- The battle might not be easy or short-lived, but victory will be there for those who trust God. God is good even when the circumstances are darker than you ever imagined. God is good even when people are not.
- God is good even when things seem stinking hopeless. God is good and can be trusted when you feel suspicious of everyone and everything around you.
- Lastly, God is good at being God. Don’t try to fix what He hasn’t assigned you to fix. Don’t try to manipulate or control or spend all your emotions trying to figure it out. Let Him be God. Free yourself from this impossible assignment -
