God Is In Control (even on an off day)

On the sidebar of my website, you’ll find a bible verse to reflect on. This is updated every 24 hours for you. I also write a monthly newsletter with biblical encouragement inside. If that’s of us interest, you can sign up on the sidebar where it says Spiritual Fruit Production.
I recently sent a devotional to my email readers on the topic of unity. Unification has been on my mind a lot lately, due to the current state of our world. I’m hurting. Specifically, for the people who don’t have a personal relationship with Christ—as well as—the parts of humanity who can’t openly celebrate Him without consequence. I’m grieving with those who have lost loved ones. I’m burdened for the men and women who are walking through infertility and failed adoptions. For the abused, the broken-hearted, the depressed, the isolated, and the anxious.
Most days, I’m in my head. Big-picture thinking. Small-detail analyzing. Asking questions and researching answers. Today, I’m just feeling the weight of it all. I’m not denying it away. I’m not escaping into work or books or friends. I’m alone, processing and contemplating on how I help. How I can be more like Jesus today? How can I best serve one person? My strategy has to change. So, I’m hugging my babies a little bit tighter. I’m kissing my husband a little bit longer. I’m not strong today. Pray for me, reader. Pray for those you love and for your enemies. I know that God delights in our dependency on Him and that He’s doing something new. I read yesterday that “his eyes examine us.” So, I’ll focus on the truth today, that God is in control. And I’ll serve one person with the gifts I’ve been given.
