I don’t know about you, but I can speak firsthand on this one. Sometimes I lose sight of the fact that God is always at work in my life. And I want to remind you that no matter your situation or circumstances, he’s working in your life, too. We many not see it, but he is always behind the scenes doing 10,000 things in each of our lives and there’s a pretty good chance we’re very unaware of most of it.

It’s important that you and I stay mindful that God never takes a day off. He’s at work 24/7 unfolding His unique plans for our lives. And His plans are far greater than mine and yours. He reveals next steps, as needed, in His timing, not ours. And his timing is ALWAYS perfect. Sometimes I need a nudge or actually a push or shove to let go and let God. He’s more than capable, Actually, He’s the most capable. I know I can’t make it happen (whatever it is) apart from God, but I still insist on trying so often it makes me end up feeling like a fool. I hit the repeat button, AGAIN, acknowledging that God didn’t design you and I to do it alone. We need the support and encouragement of each other and we need Him.  

I no longer aspire to be self-reliant, even though that’s what I’ve been taught by some to strive for as an indicator of success. Instead, I’m declaring my dependence on God, the creator, sustainer, deliverer and redeemer of all things.

God help us sharpen our awareness of you and the countless ways you’re working it all together for good in each and every person who believes in You. Thank you for pursuing us and working in and through us in ways that are both seen and unseen. Help us to step out in faith, to worry less and trust You more, to share our faith with others, and point them to You.
