Sixty-two Days

Believe it or not, in 62 days, 2026 will begin.

That doesn’t seem like that long of a time and yet, many things will happen.

Many will celebrate joyously and others through tears. Others will plan for the new year meticulously and some will throw up their hands in disgust.

There is always so much striving, it seems. “I need to…I have to… I must….”

When do we rest? When do we attain this mountain top of peace we hear about?

Psalm 62:5 – “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.” (NLT)

When my mind overwhelms my body, I quiet my spirit and think on purpose of things I know to be true.

God loves me. He created me and Spirit is with me. I am never alone. He hears me as I cry, question, reason, scream at Him. (He’s a big God and NEVER tells me I am too much.)

He is for me. My hope is in Him. There is tremendous sadness and hardship in this world. He grieves with us. I have to believe that He allows things to happen so His glory will be revealed. (If I understood that, I would be God and I am NOT.)

He is for me. He will guide and teach me. He directs my steps.

As I have said before, thinking on purpose is not always easy. But it can be done. Remind yourself of who you are and Whose you are. Rest in Him.
