Ephesians 2:8New Life Version (NLV)
8 For by His loving-favor you have been saved from the punishment of sin through faith. It is not by anything you have done. It is a gift of God.
So many different things have been running through my mind this week. How to weave them together may be a far stretch, but I will try. Here are the headlines running through my head:
“Keep your eye on the prize.”
“He brings peace to our choas.”
“Jesus is THE gift, and there is no other gift like Him.”
“In God We Trust”
Piecing the puzzle together…
This week Mackenzie, my daughter, has been home sick. We watched Miracle on 34th Street, the 1994 version. Towards the end of the movie, a dollar bill is presented, in trial, as a symbol that we believe and trust in God. She handed me a dollar bill today with it circled.
Do we truly trust God? Do we let him take ultimate control of our chaos and take the backseat? So often we are so focused on so many different things in life, some big goals/dreams, some simple, but mind consuming ideas/goals/dreams. We need to keep our eyes on HIM. He will provide peace to our chaos and give us the gift that we will never want to live without, grace through the death of Jesus on the cross.
Don’t loose focus during this time of the year. Make sure that you take the time to notice what HE is placing in front of you and praise Him for it. For many of you, this season is harder than it has been in the past. Give that hurt and grief to Him. Receive His peace. Some of us are rejoicing and enjoying life to the point we forget to praise Him for this season. Regardless if you are coasting along or riding a bumpy road, let Him be the driver. Trust His driving skills, because He already knows the road that is paved ahead for you.
Be Blessed!
