Today, I feel the Lord speaking to our hearts from Isaiah 40.

“I have a plan through this. I know you can’t see around the other bend, and what you think might be waiting for you there scares you. But trust Me. I know what I’m doing. I know what’s up there ahead. And around the next bend. And the next. I have a plan to see you through it all, and it is good. For I am Good. I haven’t promised you an easy life, but I have promised to carry you, to love you, to never leave you or forsake you, and to draw you all the closer to Myself through the troubles you face. I’m preparing you for something so much greater. There are ways you will shine for Me no one else will be able to do. There are miracles I want to do in you and through you and all around you. But first, be still. Crawl up into My lap. Lay your head against My chest. Listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat of love for you. Feel My arms around you, and let Me lift you now. Let Me stand up and walk out into your trial carrying you in My arms. They can see Me, you know. They see Me carrying you. When you let Me. But it’s your choice. You can worry, take things into your own hands, try to force the outcome you want, snap at the people you love, bury your face under the covers in depression and fear. Or you can soar over this on eagles’ wings, waiting on Me, hoping in Me, trusting in Me, and held by Me. Your choice. And no matter which way you choose, remember … I love you.” Isaiah 40.
