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!

Part of spiritual maturity is accepting the will of God in all things. It’s easy to enthusiastically say yes to the will of God and declare His greatness when things go our way. But God wants a yes and a praise when He takes us down a path we don’t prefer.
