From Jim’s Heart – Exactly Where You Should Be

Do you know what I believe is the best reward for obedience, what I believe to be one of the most compelling reasons for choosing to obey God? It is this: Obedience leads to a powerful, confident life. When you are obedient, and when you allow yourself to be led by God through the unexpected, you then have a confidence based on the fact that you know you are exactly where God wants you to be. You won’t find yourself doubting the circumstances in your life or the direction things are going.

Although you might not know exactly where God’s will is taking you, you can trust God to watch over and stay with you. And even though life may take surprising turns, the way is not unexpected to God. He knows what is happening and why. All He calls you to do is to trust Him. Walk in confidence knowing that “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me” (Psalm 23:4).

Lord, thank You for leading me to the center of Your will.
Help me to see Your hand in everything that comes my way
as I follow You today. Amen.

Getting Through Difficult Days

One of my favorite words in the English language is “bittersweet.” It’s sort of like the well-known announcement, “I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?” This picturesque term always reminds me that many occurrences in life fall simultaneously into the glad/sad category, bringing forth both emotions at once.

“I’m done. This is just too much. I can’t believe this is really God’s plan for my life!” This is not an uncommon confession among Christian women. But it is true: suffering is part of this life. Every one of us will face times of trial and loss. Job’s lament is a testimony to the physical, moral, and spiritual suffering he experienced.
