I cannot be everywhere, but God can.
I cannot right every wrong, but God can.
I cannot see the future and avoid every trap the enemy lays.
But, God has promised to go before us, behind us, be our strong right hand and keep us from being shaken.
God reminds me that at every point I feel the weakness of my flesh and its inability to do everything I want it to, He is there.

There is freedom, joy, trust and surrender in knowing that.
Sometimes we don’t “feel” those things in the moment.
But, we can keep looking at Him, waiting in expectation.
It’s the best position for us to see His hands move. Lifting up our eyes to see His presence…

“To you I lift up my eyes Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us.” Psalm 123:2 #liftupyoureyes #seekandsavorpodcast #onethousandgifts #encourage #hopewriters ...

Does your life feel like it’s changing friend?
It changes all the time doesn’t it?
I don’t understand why I haven’t become more comfortable with change.
Maybe because I am always trying to get life to line up with my vision or expectations of it.
The one constant amid every change that life can throw your way is Jesus.

I stepped out on my deck one morning, lifting up my eyes to savor the beauty of a quiet moment.
Then all the things came flooding in.
You know what I mean.
Things that aren’t yet made right, situations you are contending for, fears of the future all threaten that peace that was just yours.
Then I felt God’s Spirit tap me on my heart. Ask me beloved…
I’m sharing the whole story on this week’s episode of the podcast, “Finding peace in every season of life.”
The link is in my bio or comment peace and I will DM you the link. ❤️🍁 ...

I love the reminder from Exodus 13 where God goes before His people as they flee Egypt.

His presence went before them in a cloud by day and fire by night.

It made me think of how often we stumble forward in hope that God is leading us out of captivity, out of bondage, setting us free and leading us toward His promises and good plans for us.

But sometimes all we see is the clouds around us or even fires of adversity.

What a comfort to rest assured that what we see with our physical eyes is not all that is there.

No, His presence goes with us. He leads us forward to better days. And no day is good without His presence.

At the beginning of a new week, beloved may we fix our gaze, not on what is seen but on what is unseen. Let us hold fast to our Savior and rest in His presence.

He never leaves us and always goes before us is such good news! Who else needs to hear this?

I don’t know about you but I often feel like I am going to war every day now.
Why you ask?
Because time is short and the battle is fierce. Just look around you.
I feel a sense of urgency to keep in step with the Spirit. I pray often for Him to tune my ears to hear his voice.
God said that He prepared good works in advance for us to do.
So how are we to walk in those if we don’t keep in step with His Spirit?
Are we doing those things?
Or are we allowing the cares of this world, (even valid ones) to distract us from them?
What are those good works He has prepared for us to do?

Dear friends, until Jesus calls us home we get the honor of co-laboring with Him this side of Heaven.

There is work to be done. There are people to intercede for.
There are human beings to love and stand in the gap for and it shouldn’t require us to strive.
It becomes the overflow of our hearts the more time we spend in His presence.

‘But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” –Psalm 73:28

Maybe you need this reminder. The sheep hear His voice.
That phrase has been resounding in my heart lately. It made sense that the first episode of the Seek and Savor podcast Season 7 should be this.
So, I made space to lean in and SEEk Him on this. I am so excited to share it with you.

Friends, If Jesus could do nothing by himself, then surely I cannot, we cannot.

When we quiet our hearts to hear His still small voice we can better partner with Him in the work He is already doing around us.

We can feel His peaceful presence even in the midst of many questions.

Join us at the link in my bio for 10 minutes that will calm your soul and bring the light of His presence.

He is the Living Word. ❤️

Did you see the freshly bloomed blossoms on the same branch as a dead leaf barely hanging on? (Last image)
We serve a God who brings life from death. We can trust His timing and His ways.
I believe Autumn invites us to surrender all the things to Him. And in the surrender we find Comfort and Joy, the very thing so many are looking for in the (Christmas) season to come.
Look what happens when we Lift Up Our Eyes beloved.
