A crazy day, a crazy week…actually a crazy month. And we survived. Sigh.
But I can’t help but ask the question: Is that what it’s about?
I find myself saying, “If only I can get through the month.”
“If only I can get through the week.”
“If only I can get through the day.”
And then what?
I think I’ve focused too much on just surviving. God doesn’t want us to just survive, but to overcome:
I have nothing to complain about, just a busy season, and so many blessings, so many things to be thankful for. And Jesus’ blood covers over my sin. And my life is not in jeopardy.
God is not calling me to lay down my life. I pray that if He ever did, that He would give me the grace to remain faithful to Him. But I can give Him glory in the craziness and trust that He will give me what I need, not to just survive, but to overcome.
Jesus, please forgive me for my attitude of wanting to just survive. Thank you for Your sacrifice and for giving me the ability to overcome, by Your strength. To God be the Glory, great things He has done!
