THE SEASON OF REMEMBERING

What do you do when you’re in a valley of doubts, fear, hurts, and disappointments? What do you do when you’re in a crisis of belief?

You REMEMBER the goodness of God.

You do not just ENDURE, the passive response to what is happening, but you EMBRACE and believe that God is still good. Embracing means looking at bad news in the face and declaring, “I still trust my God with everything in me.”

WRESTLE & EMBRACE

It’s ok to wrestle at first, then embrace. God allows us to go very low in desperation so that we have no other choice, nowhere else to look BUT UP.

In the midst of feeling guilty, broken, ashamed, and exhausted, you wrestle… then you embrace no matter what.

PRAISE BEFORE THE PROVISION

Have faith that praises even when you don’t like what you see. A faith that can lift our hands while we’re hurting, a faith that praises NOT for the WHAT but for the WHO.

For even if He doesn’t change your circumstances, He can change your perspective.

Dear God, give me permission to wrestle, to push back, to cry out, and to acknowledge my doubts. And help me to embrace you and never let go, to have a faith that praises before the provision.
