As I did my laundry yesterday, my mind wandered to my upcoming 28th birthday, just ten days away. I'm filled with emotions, but most of all, I'm grateful. I realized that I'm a work in progress, and the only assets I can truly boast of are God's words, which He has spoken to me over the past year.
I'm grateful for the greatest asset: God's Word. The apostle's statement resonates with me: "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us" (1 John 5:14). The apostle's confidence wasn't rooted in worldly realities but in God, with whom he had constant communion and fellowship.
It's easy to feel dismayed when things don't add up, expectations are cut short, and hopes aren't met. Yet, our greatest joy is that we're being transformed by the One we come to daily.
Maybe you have everything figured out, or perhaps you're waiting for things to align. Here's our reality: we don't need physical assets to confirm our sufficiency. Our sufficiency comes from the One we call Lord. God's Word is the surest asset to navigate life.
I've experienced this firsthand. When asked about the absolute confidence I had in my future husband's faithfulness, I replied, "Because God is the One giving me a husband." God gives us guarantees and insurance. When we come to Him, we can taste and see that the Lord is good.
Do you feel lost lately?, then here is God's specialty - To seek you out and show you a way.
Stay Revived!
