I woke up this morning with the chorus of a song on my heart. The song is titled ‘The Story I’ll Tell’ by Naomi Raines.
As I prayed for my topic, another devotion mentioned God not failing.
I know firsthand what it looks and feels like as you walk through a situation that looks nothing like you expected. But, yet, in your heart, there’s a sense of peace as you are reminded that no matter what life looks like ‘my God did not fail’, and as you cling to some of the promises in the Bible.
Romans 8:26-28 comes to mind.. ‘In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, and who have been called according to His purpose.’
Friends, God’s very nature is that He cannot fail… no matter what the situation looks like.
I’m walking an incredible journey that I could not have made up if I had tried. It looks nothing like I would have expected, and I can look back and trace it to God asking me to do some crazy things.. those seemingly crazy things not making sense to me.. but.. He sees the beginning from the end.. and for that, I’m grateful.
Are there some things in your life that you need to reassess as to whether God has failed?
Dear Heavenly Father, your love for us is incomprehensible. You allow things to work out the way you do, for your will and purposes. Would you help us to allow you to trust you for every outcome, even when we don’t understand the journey, but choosing to be obedient anyway?
