My quiet time this morning came out of my devotional reading from New Morning Mercies by Paul Tripp.
It’s comforting to know that God’s plans for us are so much more than we can imagine. Surprisingly, we limit ourselves through our attitudes and behaviors, and through our own self-worth. We can live our lives based on who we think we are, rather than who God thinks we are.
The good news is that it’s God who works in and through us to accomplish His purposes.That’s not to say we do not have to put in any effort, we do. it isn’t always easy. In fact if we’re honest, sometimes it’s down right painful. In those painful moments we can want to give up. We can convince ourselves that we’re never going to be better or more than we are in the moment. Take heart! The glorious plans that God has for us is not something that happens in a day, a week, a month, or even a year. It’s a continual process. It’s taking Him at His word, trusting His promises and believing that He who has started the good work is faithful to complete it. Find comfort, rest, and assurance in Him today. “He will not abandon His purpose for any reason at any time.” – Paul Tripp, ❤ ❤
