SIMPLE TRUTHS

During a women's retreat many years ago, a sweet friend shared how she often wrote Scripture, promises, etc. on 3 1/2 x 5 cards and kept them in her purse. Her testimony encouraged me to do the same.

This afternoon, I was cleaning out old paper work and found one that I wrote some years ago when the tunnel of life seemed dark and uncertain. It reads:

"Simple Truths

1.  God is sovereign and is in control of all the details of my life (Eph. 1);

2.  God is loving, and (He) shapes the details of my life for my good;

3.  God is all-wise, and (He) will not do everything I want because He knows what I need;

4.  God is patient and may take His time to do all this, so that my divine story brings Him glory.*"

Oh, how these simple truths over the last few years have continually pointed me to go before the throne of grace, seek His Word, and remember His promises. That I would be sanctified and humbled daily to care less about my story and more about bringing Him glory and enjoying Him eternally. 

 
*Not sure if I read this somewhere or what. All I remember is that it blessed me and I hope it does the same for you.
