So here we are. Still moving through a “new normal” in the ever changing world where we quickly figured out nothing is guaranteed. 2020 prior to the middle of March felt like what was going to be a spectacular year that was running very smoothly. Then we all found ourselves on a roller coaster no one wanted to ride. The ups and downs have been exhausting, confusing, and disheartening many days. Information changes daily. We are constantly finding the need to adapt to whatever the new thing for that day brings.
As I was reading Psalm 143 today, I was reminded of a few things. Verse 5 says” I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doings…” (NSRV). At first you might think that would bring sadness at how our world looked before March. However, I chose to think about the good things God has done in my life, and the way He has taken other less than desirable circumstances and turned them around for good. He’s still the same God that He was before March, so He can make good out of this too.
Later in verse 10 it says He will lead us on level ground and revive us. That is just the encouragement we need for today! God is the one who can lead us through this uncertain time on a steady path and revive our weary souls if we will look to Him for our strength and guidance and not the world. God doesn’t change! His word doesn’t change! Those things are not dependent on my current mood or what I see around me!
Look to God for your strength, your comfort, and your direction. He is not phased by what we see, so let Him keep you steady! 2020 can still be your best year yet!
