When faced with life's challenges,
it is Important to Remember
that although Daniel was saved from the lions,
he was not saved from the Lion's Den.

Faith in Advance

yes


Sometimes, I get so stuck in the moment, that I forget God has it all in the hollow of His Hand.  He knows the end, when I am only focused on the middle.  I am working on recognizing His hand in my life, no matter how the middle currently feels in the pit of my stomach.  
When I take a moment to look around me, I realize that I have much to be grateful for.  I do have many blessings.  I just have to look a little past the moment to find them.  I can say in all honesty, that everything I have been through up to now in my life, I would not change.  
Though there are bad things, there are also good ones.  My life has taught me strength and courage.  I know that I am not alone.  I have felt God's gifts in my life and know that He is ever mindful of me.  
I suppose, that one of the hardest things for me to learn is to simply trust Him.  It is easy to see his Hand when I look backwards.  It is much harder to see it in the moment.  So for today, I am trying to look past the hard things and have more trust in His grace.  I know He lives, I know He loves me, I know He hears and answers prayers and I know that He will help me to make sense of all this in reverse.
