Your Story Isn’t Finished

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. –Zephaniah 3:17 NLT

Life is filled with many peaks and valleys. No matter which season of life you are going through, you are not alone. There will be storms, but there will also be blessings. What is important is keeping your eyes on God throughout all the seasons of life.You are never abandoned. The Lord’s arms are always open. He has a plan and purpose for your life. During difficult times, remember Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV): “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”Whether walking through the lowest valley or enjoying mountaintop experiences, meditate on Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT): “May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” Be strong in your faith. Open your heart, mind, and soul to Him—He is still writing your story.

Thank God for the things He will help you accomplish in your life as He finishes your story.
