Life is great and a blessing.
Even so, there will come those times in our lives when there are
voids-times characterized with loneliness, doubts,, fears, pain, tears,
sadness….perhaps even depression. I have recently experienced the most
unexpected void in my life. A difficult
time personally and spiritually, yet a time that has persevered through God’s love into immeasurable growth in my faith walk. It is sometimes tempting, as Satan feeds us lies, to turn from our God and not to seek Him through His Word and other Christians. I was blessed to have a solid foundation of
faith in which to cling. This included family
and friends. I even moved away during this time, God and
the Bible quickly became my source out of necessity. I thank God He empowered me to look to Him to
fill this void and not seek out
worldliness………. and dismiss the promises from our God. He does not guarantee all
things will work out the way we believe
to be best-mine did not, and while it hurts, I progress towards a stronger
trust and faith that His plan is best and will be good….in His time. Of course this has and continues to be
challenging…..I will never have it figured out.
I have learned this should not be the focus, yet it seems a natural
to fall into getting the 'why' answers. It's fine to question God, though we cannot figure out
His wisdom and the trials He allows us to endure. The question is…..do I trust Him? If so, he will see me through if my focus
is upward. If I do not believe His way are
best, then I need to seek Him-----Avoid the present ‘voids’ and get to that trusting relationship. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
