I was wrong and cold ALL DAY.
I wasn't about to make the same mistake today.
I thought it was supposed to be warm...
it's MAY.
Today I wore layers... a black hooded long sleeve and a wool hooded sweater.
SO COMFY today. {backdrop to thoughts bellow}
I heard birds singing and wondered how in the world they will stay warm in this weather.
{they don't have a cute wool sweater}
They migrate up here expecting to have good weather.
to be warm. to build their nests. work to get their food. mate. have little birdies. and go on with their good life.
then they get HERE. I'm sure it's not what they expected.
but how do they stay warm in this?
I was amazed at a small thought that came to my head
God knows their needs. He cares about the birds enough, to create them with all they need. It doesn't matter where life brings them he provides for them. They are chirping in this weather. They keep going.
It was an encouragement to me that no matter WHERE I am at - God does and will provide for my needs. Even if I doubt the direction I'm going. If I can't see what the future holds. I will keep going and trust Him that He's given me what I need. He's created me with an innate desire to know Him and pursue Him for my needs.
Those were my thoughts hours ago - and then I read this:
Today’s Verse:
"My times are in Your hand…" (Psalm 31:15, NASB)
Today’s Word:
One thing I’ve learned is that God doesn’t always work on our timetable. In fact, He rarely does. But in a single moment, God can change your life! All throughout Scripture, we see examples of how God was working behind the scenes and instantly turned things around for His people. Scripture tells us He is the same yesterday, today and forever which means He can instantly turn things around for you, too! You may be going through some difficulty today, but be encouraged because your times are in God’s hands. He wants to accelerate things in your favor. He wants to take you further than you dreamed possible and work in your life in ways beyond what you have ever imagined. Let this truth sink down into your heart today. Resist discouragement by speaking His Word over your future. Keep standing. Keep hoping; keep believing because He is working behind the scenes. He’s going to accelerate your times and lead you into the life of victory He has for you!
Prayer for Today:
Father God, today I humbly come before You giving You all that I am. I trust that my times are in Your hands. I trust that You are working things out in my favor. I set my focus on You knowing that You are working things out for my good. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Exactly what I needed to hear.
Love.S
