I still find hope in reading these reminders that even in moments of great pain, sorrow or trial, God has a plan. He knows what He is preparing us for, we can’t always see it, and we definitely cannot control it, but we can rest in His arms during difficult time and know He is carrying us through the storm. Be blessed today!

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
– Proverbs 3:11-12 (NIV)
Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
God has a purpose for every trial that you and I go through. Because of the work of Jesus upon the cross, we are not set up for judgment but for growth, even if the struggles that we face are great. This may cut against the grain of our quest for comfort and convenience, but God is interested in more than having us feel good about ourselves—He is a faithful and loving father who delights in bringing us into what He has made us to be and do.
