Never Alone!

Happy Monday! We’ve made it through the first few weeks of 2019! I am still trying to get over my cold from Christmas break. I started back to work last week so I am back in the swing of things. 

For the last week, I have mulled over the question, “What does God want me to do in 2019?” 

I love the message in Psalm 57:2, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” The key here is God will fulfill his purpose for you. In other words, God is in control and He has a plan. 

I heard a message on being an overcomer this week by David Jeremiah.  He provided some points on being an overcomer. The one point that stood out to me is not being defined by our past. In other words, we may have made some mistakes, but we should not let those mistakes define who we are in Christ.  

Maybe you had a rough 2018 or maybe the start of 2019 has not been so good either. Friends, life is full of ups and downs. In Genesis 39: 19-21, Joseph was thrown into prison after Potiphar’s wife lied on him. “Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife’s story about how Joseph had treated her. So, he took Joseph and threw him into prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and the he remained. But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.”

The great news is that “the Lord was with Joseph.” Wow, you may be walking through a terrible time in your life but just know the Lord is with you. He never promised us a perfect life without troubles but he did promise us to never leave us. 

Seek God today and ask him what He wants you to do in 2019. Search the scriptures and then spend time listening to God. Trust in knowing that He will be with you no matter what life brings.
