Sometimes when things get really hard - you know the seasons - I think about the nation of Israel in the Old Testament. How often God told them... REMEMBER. Things are hard now... but remember how God has led you in the past. This season is dark... but remember how faithful God has been to bring you through. This feels hopeless... but remember how God has brought you HOPE in the hard?
Here we are. I'm setting my face like a flint. Setting my mind on God's goodness. His faithfulness. His HOPE. CHRIST in you, the HOPE of glory. For our good, for His glory.
God says remember! So I've been mediating on God's faithfulness to our family in the past. Our marriage, our babies, the various adventures we've been on together. Some of them are sweet memories are some aren't sweet at all. But every single time, God has been faithful. He's given good gifts in the hard. He's give us His comfort, His presence, His PEACE. I'm going to intentionally record some of those seasons... to remind myself. He's present. He's here. He's faithful.
