In a puddle
October 4, 2021
Are you in a puddle today? My friend weighted down by sad family news simply said, ‘I’m in a puddle.’ Muddy feet, water rising, we often plead with God. ‘Lord, lift me out of this puddle!’
He is capable of doing that. However, He may have a better plan. Remember, God will never allow the water in your puddle to rise above what He can strengthen you to swim through.
In one of my hardest places, at the end of a draining day, I prayed. ‘Lord, I can’t do this another day.’ The next day I awaken refreshed, ready for that day with the same, even increased challenges. Did that season change me? For sure! Strengthen me? Definitely!
So, my friend, watch for God’s solution. God’s strength in you grows. The puddle shrinks.
