I hope everyone is doing well!
Just wanted to share something sweet & encouraging from God’s word.
It’s been a weird season so far, the three months of waiting in between training camp and launching for the race. Half of me just wants to wake up and jump into this new adventure without looking back! Half of me is dreading leaving my family & friends, amazing home church, & everything I have here. I also wonder how God will possibly have me prepared for this just a month and a half from now. I don’t feel like I’m ready in ANY way.
I found myself really over-thinking today, feeling like it’s impossible for me to be ready physically, spiritually, & mentally for everything that’s coming in January. But in a moment, God broke through and said,
“do I have your yes?” I said “Yes God.” & he said “That’s all I need.”
And I felt perfect peace and security in where I’m at, and where I’m going.
“But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 TPT
I know, somehow, everything he’s spoken over me is going to come to pass, all because of his grace, power, and love for me. Not because I could ever do it on my own. He just needs my yes, and in giving God my yes, I also have all I need.
& even though life is just a struggle sometimes, I have a lot of peace in Psalm 17:15. It’s a promise that I will be fully satisfied in God, so there’s no need to worry about things I feel like I’m lacking now.
“As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.”
Psalms 17:15 NKJV
He has you perfectly where you are and you are exactly where He wants you to bring glory to Him…and to be His hands and feet extended….
