This Wednesday Word from Christian author Chrystal Evans Hurst is a reminder that we can indeed trust God with our lives, knowing that He is not trying to set us up for ultimate failure.
We also need to practice gratitude for what we have been blessed with, instead of focusing so much on what we don’t have, knowing that God has a reason for everything. We have to trust that God is indeed a good God Who knows exactly what He’s doing, even when we don’t understand.
In a conversation for Better Together TV, titled, “How Gratitude Empowers Our Prayers,” Chrystal talks about how we can trust Who God is and also His timing for our lives. “Even if there’s something missing from the picture of my life, I’m going to be grateful for what IS in the frame,” Chrystal shared. “And then I’m going to trust that anything that is outside of the frame, that He either has outside for a reason or He’ll bring it into the frame when it’s the right time.” The author also revealed that it was important to show gratitude and let God show just how much good there is in your present life.
SHEESH. This message was really powerful to me because this is where I’m at in life. Where my life isn’t exactly what I thought it would be at this point, but I’m in a place of working on trusting God regardless. Giving my plans, my desires, and my future over to Him, and being grateful for Who He is in my life and what He’s blessed me with. We all can work on that!
