"I am the one who creates the light & the darkness. I am the one who sends the good times and the bad times. I, the Lord, am the one who does these things."
Isaiah 45:7
We don't always have good days. No one does, the Lord sends us good and bad days. Although the bad days tend to be especially heinous these days, it is important to know that it is here to strengthen you. About 80% of the time, maybe more (of course more), I forget that. I complain, I stress, I breakdown, I cry... I mainly stress, let's be honest. However, "you cannot appreciate the rainbow without first experiencing the rain". As cliche-d as it is, like yin and yang, the light and darkness go hand in hand. To experience the wondrous aspects of the light, we must travel through darkness.
Do NOT be discouraged! Trust in God to help you through today and the next.
Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for another week, whether it has been good or bad, we are thankful to be here. Be with us, we pray, as these school days come to an end. Gift us with focus, determination, productivity, and strength. Watch over our loved ones and continue to keep us safe.
Amen.
"If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God."
Isaiah 50:10
(Chapter Devotion)
