It’s funny how God works.
I posted a blog about thanking God last night.
Then my teammate said she read an article about gratitude bringing joy. Another teammate asks if I am okay and then asks me what I am thankful for.
Then the sermon ends with the exhortation to fix our eyes on Jesus.
Tonight, we set up a sheet to paint in the middle of student center with the question: “What are you thankful for?”
So one of my struggles has been feeling like Jesus hasn’t been talking to me. But then all these people spoke and confirmed what I thought Jesus told me last night.
Instead of focusing on my struggle, I need to focus on the Holy God, who is above all things. When I look to Him in thankfulness, my struggles fade away.
I am slowly learning that God doesn’t fit into my expectations but rather expectations limit what God can do. God wants to speak to me and continues to speak to me if I would only let go of my own past and expectations.
“Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all, through it all
It is well
So let go my soul and trust in Him
The waves and wind still know His name
So let go my soul and trust in Him
The waves and wind still know His name“
-it is well, Bethel
