📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

So much of life is waiting to find out. The test results. The phone call. The decision someone else gets to make. Maybe you're waiting on something right now, rehearsing every ending as if that could make you ready.

Into all that not-knowing, an angel once spoke a sentence with no maybe in it: "For no word from God will ever fail." He was pointing to Elizabeth, old and childless all her life, now six months along because God had said so. "The Lord has done this for me," she said.

That sentence doesn't tell you how this week will turn out. It tells you how God's promises turn out. And before the phone ever rings, some things are already certain.

You will not face it alone, because He has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). You will not be without rest, because Jesus gives it to all who come to Him weary and burdened. And the last word will be His, because He has promised to come back and take you to be with Him.

So you can stop rehearsing the endings. God kept His word to Elizabeth, and He will keep His word to you.

Ask Yourself:

What am I waiting to find out right now, and what has God already promised me in it?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Father,

So much of what's ahead is hidden from me. Thank You that Your promises are not. Thank You for the rest Jesus gives to everyone who comes to Him.

When I catch myself rehearsing every ending, remind me that I won't face a single one alone, and that the last word on my life belongs to You. Help me take You at Your word today, and to wait with a quiet heart for everything I can't yet see.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
