Winding down week 37 Fair Day Christian

Happy Saturday y'all!

This past week, our devotional readings have pointed out how God is always there when we seek Him.

I've discovered that sometimes He'll deliver us out of the storm quickly. Other times, we abide there for a while. The reasons vary I'm sure, but I don't know why; thankfully, He does. What I do know is that storms leave us messy.  Yet God has a plan for lessons learned when sorrow has us drenched and shaken.

But here's the kicker: Oftentimes, He isn't the One that put us in the storm. Oftentimes, we put ourselves there. It's our sinful disobedience and our own willful, hardhead, stubbornness that gets us in the worst predicaments. And we either blame God or cry out to Him for help...and even during these self-inflicted storms, He is willing to walk through with us...not because He has to, but because He loves us.

Imagine that. God loves us enough to never leave nor forsake us.  How humbling is that? How amazing is that? How unbelievable is that?  His help may be deliverance or it may be peace. It may be courage or it may be wisdom. It may come quickly or not at all as we'd expect or desire...yet His help will come - we just need to accept it and continue on in faith toward our final destination.

I pray that you've discovered something great about your relationship with God this week. I also pray that these scriptures have offered you hope and inspiration regarding His faithfulness towards us.

In parting, I'll share one of my dad's favorite songs (which eventually became his life motto). It's the title of an Aaron Tippin song: "You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything." My prayer is that we'll stand for Christ even during storms - that we'll not merely be a fair day Christian.

In Christ with love and compassion - Coach Kelly
