Little Hopeless Moments


Psalm 127:2 "It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know he enjoys giving rest to those he loves?

Through a series of unfortunate events, I was not able to post a devotion yesterday.  The band had to leave early in the morning and head three hours away for a show.  We were set to get home at a decent hour until the van broke down.  There was nothing we could do to fix it at that time of night.  We couldn’t get a hold of anyone we knew in that area, so we were stranded.  There was nothing we could do except keeping trying to call people. It was very frustrating. The baby was screaming about everything and wouldn’t calm down.  It frustrates me to know I can’t do anything when it feels like there should be something I can do! When moments like this come we have to give it to God. I know I say this a lot in my posts but it's the best thing you can do. We as humans have little power except for what God gives us. We can't do much without Him including situations that seem impossible. When we give God what seems impossible we will slowly see it turn into something that's possible. It may not be exactly what we were thinking of but it will still be perfect and more so than what we had been thinking.  My sister and a close friend of ours drove the two hours to our location and picked us up.  We were able to get everyone home and get plenty of sleep through today.  Praise God.

Philippians 4:7 "Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
