(Day
6 from 31
Rays of Hope)
One of the hardest life lessons
that I have been taught is that you must always be prepared for change. After
all it is the only thing constant in this world, aside from God’s love. Well, I write taught but continuously
learning this with each and every day (we all are works-in-progress, you know). In an instant your circumstances can evolve into
something that you did not foresee, whether it is pleasant or dreadful. The
only way to truly be prepared is to have accepted that
Jesus Christ is the risen
Son of the
only God and have the Holy Spirit reside in your heart. Why? Because it
is only God who knows the past, present, and future; only He can guide you and
direct you in the path you should go. He provides strength [1 Chronicles 16:11], direction
[Psalm 37:23], security [Proverbs 1:33], and knowledge,
and understanding [Proverbs
2:6-9]. He alone has promised “never will I leave you, never will I forsake
you” (Hebrews 13:5, NIV).
To those who are reading this that have not
yet invited Jesus in their hearts:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” ( John 3:16, KJV). I pray that the Holy Spirit calls out to you and you answer His call…that you one day know this verse to be true.

To
those who are
reading this and
have accepted the free gift of eternal life:
May you seek the will of God in your everyday lives and walk in His light. May you know what His will for you is and be eager to spread the knowledge of Jesus’s saving grace to all that you meet.

Dear heavenly Father, thank You
for providing peace through the storms of life. Though there are just a handful
of noted verses above which are meant to invoke the Spirit and mind, there are
so many more in Your holy Word, Your letter to Your children. May we
find
rest in You, Father,
during all times, knowing that as Your children You always have our best in
mind, and You rule, always have and always will, in Jesus's name we pray. Amen.
