(Daniel 3) Either God
was going to deliver them or they would willingly die in His service…they were going to bow or
burn…and
what did the son of God do- He walked with them through the flames. I want to always believe with boldness that
God- my God- will be with me in the fire every single time.
Today has not been the best day. I hate to even admit that. I woke up a little fussy, but I quickly
started praising before my feet even hit the shower. Yet, as the day progressed, it was a total
rollercoaster ride of stressful moments and plans that I honestly don’t want
any part of. Why is it that work seems
to zap all of the good out of me at times?
I can’t believe that I manage to
let my job take all of the JOY right out of my life- a job which I have always
loved in the past. Regardless, I kept thinking
about what those boys (in Daniel) did all day today…standing there in the
face of the King telling him that they were not going to bow down to him…and they were so
faithful. I so wanted that this morning
as I left for school- I wanted to be so faithful. Yet, once again, no matter how much I tried- I
was faithless today. I let school get to
me…again. Then, on top of that, I let other things
outside of school worry me. It has been
17 days, and here I am…right
back in the same place I was two weeks ago—lost,
wandering, and weary…
But, wait…there is hope today. Because I know that no matter how far off I
wander- there is this awesome God that loves me with this crazy, reckless love
who will come find me no matter where I go and He will meet me right where I am…
I am so thankful that I have Him to
lean on even when I have these yucky days.
So thankful…even
now I have to smile because HE loves me even though today I was not His child…I was a child of the
world. Don’t be of this
world, Stephanie- just be in this world. Clearly, I need about a million more days to
FASt! :0)
