The Path to Abundance
There is a mystery and wildness to God as it pertains to the unpredictable ways He works in our lives. We puzzle at circumstances we must endure in our journey with Him that eclipse our reason and are totally beyond our control.
Focusing on God’s Purposes
Prolonged trials with little or
no relief have a way of eroding our confidence that God sees and hears, often
generating fears of abandonment.
It is enlightening to see in
this verse how the Psalmist David chooses in the face of his temporal
afflictions and fears, to focus upon the eternal truths of God’s purposes and
love.
20/20 Faith
As we enter into 2020, this is a fitting promise and prayer that God would give us a 20/20 faith to see the things which He is doing in the unseen and eternal realm of the Spirit.
