Scripture Quote: “A man’s steps are of the Lord: How then can a man understand his own way?” Proverbs 20:24 (NLT)

            We are often confused by the events around us. Some things we will never understand until years later when we look back and see how God was working. Other things we may never understand until we are with God in heaven. But God has a special plan and purpose for our lives. Trusting that God’s direction for us is far better than we would choose for ourselves, we can try to live a life that models Christ – Cultivate justice, wisdom and integrity. As believers we must learn to trust God with everything, which requires strong commitment, obedience and patience.

            God’s mercy and faithfulness are unsurpassed. His love endures forever. He will preserve and strengthen us as our trust in Him increases. We are safe to put our trust under the shadow of His wings. God is the fountain of life, giving us living water to drink so that we may know and understand His truth. God takes great pleasure in the prosperity of His children. Shout with joy and be glad and magnify the Lord.

Meditation for the day: Faith in Jesus is knowing Him personally and entrusting our eternal life into His hands.

Memory Verse: “the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.”  Psalm 37:23 (NLT)

It is true that there are event in our lives that will make us question our existence, as well as the existence of God. I understand that we can get through so much, but we should never deny everything God has done for us. There are countless blessings that we have received in our lives; some are the thing we asked for, while there are some we did not. That's why during the hard phase of our lives, this are the things we should remember so we can hold on to our faith.
