When you look around the world today it is easy to only see the injustices, the unrest, the divisions and the mistrust. People yelling and screaming at each other. Everyone seems offended about one thing or another. Homelessness, unemployment, foreclosures and more. It’s easy to not even want to get out of bed. I get it, believe me.

But there is something I have finally learned in life…this is truly the day the Lord hath made. He is not overwhelmed by today. Nothing caught Him off guard. He made the sun rise, the flowers bloom, the birds sing, and every other beautiful thing. He made this day knowing what you need today.

I know you have been praying for answers. I used to think He didn’t hear me. Some times the answers do not come swiftly. But that in NO way means He is not listening. Now when my anxiety is high, I look at the things that He provided and I learn to wait on His perfect time. While I wait, I enjoy the beauty of the day, grateful for all He has given. He calls us to rejoice in all circumstances.

It’s not always easy when the pain is too much. But please remember He has promised to never foresake us. Hang on tight to His promises and try to find the beauty He has given you while you wait for His perfect answer. It’s hard, but worth the wait.
