Even though the struggle still continues, the fight persists, the climb still steep, life is good-God is still God and He is good. His plan is perfect….
This morning I was searching for a new devotional App on my phone. It didn’t take long to find one I liked. With one press of my finger and a few seconds later, instantly I had it there before me. Did I say how much I love my Smartphone? How did we ever get along before this gadget savvy world? I swipe my finger across the screen and I am connected to almost everything I could possibly need. I swipe my finger again to return to the main screen and this thought interrupted me-life is good. I have a mountain of struggle before me, but life is still good. I think about generations before me and all the conveniences they did not have; conveniences that I obtain in this small little device nestled in the palm of my hand. This phone is not magic and it doesn’t take away my mountain of struggle; yet somehow it reminds me that God is still working things out on my behalf and I don’t need a Smartphone or fancy App to get His attention. His only requirement is a heart that trusts that He is who He says He is. The only App I need, is free, his name is Jesus.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[
Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
