One truth about following the Lord is that He rarely gives us the full picture. Instead, he invites us to trust Him in each step of the process. Paul reminds us in this verse that confidence is not knowing what comes next but truly knowing the God who does. So, in the meantime, while we wait to get that job, or receive the opportunity and clarity we want, it is important to be faithful before the Lord reveals what is next.
Our actions shape how others see Jesus. Every interaction is an opportunity to reflect His love, or misrepresent it, so let’s live in a way that points people to Christ.
Feeling stuck in sin, shame, or spiritual drift? Psalm 1 reminds us how compromise can slowly harden our hearts, but the story of Manasseh proves that no one is beyond God’s mercy. No one is too far gone.
