Hang In There

I start each day with a devotional reading from the Max Lucado website. He has written so many books that are memorable, inspiring and quite often life-changing. There a few that are in my own personal library that I enjoy re-reading. His words are quite often timely reminders that I need. Such as today's daily devotional reading.

Hang In There
By Max Lucado
Is anything too hard for the Lord? No!
Genesis 18:14

Hang in there. Don’t give up! Is anything too hard for the Lord? No!

Just when you least suspect it—the God of surprises strikes again. God does that for the faithful. Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sarah gets pregnant. Just when the failure is too great for grace, David is pardoned.

The lesson? Three words. Don’t give up!

Is the road long? Don’t stop.

Is the night black? Don’t quit.

God is watching. For all you know right at this moment … the check may be in the mail. The apology may be in the making. The job contract may be on the desk.

Don’t quit. You may miss the answer to your prayers.

God is faithful—He’s always on time.
I find the coincidence of times like this somewhat overwhelming. Not that I really believe in coincidence - someone once told me that "coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous".

Thank you Lord for another gentle reminder of your love for me.

Blessings
