I hope everyone had a great Easter! I have to share with you guys about our Easter message at church. IT WAS AMAZING. I wish I could actually have a face to face conversation with you all because it was just so, so, so good. Good thing the message is available right here, right now!
BUT Before you watch, let me share what I got from it. Cool? Great, thanks!
Okay, so we (you & me) get caught up in the way we do things. When those things go wrong or don’g go at all, we look at God like, “hello? what’s going on here?” Sort of like talking to Him as if he thinks like we do and acts like we do, so what we want shouldn’t be a problem. Yeah, umm no.
Listen, I’m the first to admit that I’m guilty of this. I feel like every time I act like this, God is rolling his eyes (for the 50th time) at me like, “Tor, hoooow maaaaany times do we have to go through this???” and that’s when this little verse pops up in my head…
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.” – Isaiah 55:8
His thoughts are not my thoughts and His ways are a billion, trillion not my ways! A little overboard with the billion, trillion but it’s so true though.
This verse may not pack a punch to you guys, but it did for me. It’s such a strong reminder that I can rest in Him. He’s got my back and has my best interest. Period. I rest in that and want to be what He created me to be.
Here is what stuck out to me the most: “God gives the right word at the right time.” This is super important to understand and to believe. This is when you take yourself out and put God in. Remember, His thoughts and ways are not like ours. I don’t know about you but when I take over, talk about “hot mess express!” Is what you’re doing working out for you? Probably not. What are you battling? Is it a job, relationships, finances, anger, anxiety, fear…what is it? Whatever it is, He’s got your back.
I hope you all take some time to listen to this message and allow your hearts to open.
Praying for you all, have an awesome week!
