Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Friday I spent the day at the courthouse, trying to help someone I care deeply about. This person made a mistake and acted out on their emotions. There was a part of them that truly thought they were doing the right thing, but they went about it in the wrong way.
How many times do we try to do something with good intentions in our hearts and it backfires on us? I spent all day, going from one courtroom to the other. I came home that day feeling awful, disappointed to some degree, and helpless for that person.
I went to bed early that night, but before falling asleep I thanked God, because in spite of how I felt, I knew God was in the midst of it all.
Did it turn out the way I was hoping for? Nope. We don’t always know how things are going to turn out, but as we pray and trust God, He does what is best for the situation and we have to leave it at that and let God’s plan unfold.
If you are feeling disappointed today, things might not have turned out the way you thought they would, and you are trying to figure out what happened and why, take a few minutes and spend some time, just you and God.
Talk it out with Him. He will hold your hand, help you through and bring understanding.
Rest in Him today, in spite of how your circumstances look.
