The racially motivated supermarket massacre is Buffalo, NY, is heartbreaking. It is a sad time, and families have been left shattered, and a community is struggling to grapple with the ugly reality of racism. Yet, in the midst of it all, there is hope in God. He is near and faithful to give us peace.

Perhaps you are going through a tough season. If so, cling to the assurance that the Lord will do what only He can by causing even this—as ugly, intimidating, unfortunate, unpleasant, and difficult as it may be—to work out for your good! Trust the Lord in every season, friend.

When one season ends, a new season begins. It’s not over. But, in order to move forward into your promise, you must be willing to release the old, and embrace the new. Don’t convince yourself that your best years are behind you, when your best days are actually ahead of you. God wants to do more!
