Last
week was like being in a sandstorm. My environment seemed to change each moment
of the day. From good news to sadness, discouraging to encouraging and all
other mixed emotions.Each day had its own theme. Each time I took my hand out
of God’s I was being swept away by the powerful wind of anxiety. I do not know
how many times I wept, but I knew what it was about. And during those times, I
kept praising and thanking God for His mercy. Living is not easy but life could
still be a lot worse to us. We all go through something, good and bad and we
get through it. We are here to see another day and we should rejoice and be
glad in it. When the dust started settling and I thought I was falling, God
held me up. I am still standing and I announce publicly thank you Lord! He
never left me. Even though I am still in a storm, I can see in front of me. The walk by faith and not by sight is taking some time to get used to but I will. I
am learning not to get distracted from taking my eyes off the Lord by looking
at the stormy waters. I am learning to reach out my hand for His even when
things seem alright. I constantly remind myself how many times God has saved me
with miracles and mercy. By His grace I make it through the storms. I have a
mission and His Will be done. It has already been rewarding.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
