Positive Daily Inspiration – December 9, 2022 – EVEN IN THOSE TIMES …

“I will comfort you.”
Isaiah 66:13

Even in those times when you cannot seem to understand the whys and wherefores of some experience, still you know that God is with you. You feel God’s loving presence and God’s peace which passes all understanding.

Even in those times when your world seems turned upside down and the way ahead unclear, still you know that God is with you. You feel God’s loving presence which strengthens you and guides your faltering steps.

Even in those times when you feel you cannot go on alone, still you are reminded that you are never alone, that, always, God is with you as your all-sustaining comfort and strength.

As you realize the presence of God with you, you have a new patience inside of you that knows the presence of God, and is assured that all things, in time, will work out in Divine order.

In Ecclesiastes 7:8, the Bible states, “Better is the end of the thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

No experience can undermine your faith when you know that life is eternal, unending, and when you know that God is life and love and peace, and that you are eternally one with God. You are kept in the circle of God’s love; nothing can separate you from God. Knowing this, your spirits are lifted, your heart is comforted, and you are patient, as well as strengthened and sustained.

Even in those times when something is not going right, and if you tend to be impatient, always in a hurry, and easily upset with others and events, you do not have to give in to this tendency. You can overcome impatience and live in the comfort of God.

When you live in God you always know that no matter how things appear, everything, in time, will work out. Jesus said, “Do not look to appearances.” If we follow Jesus, we look to God instead of the temporal appearances before our eyes.

You overcome your tendency to look to appearances with worry and fear, by reminding yourself in the midst of irritation or frustration that all things are working together for good, according to Divine plan. God is in charge and all is well.

I realize how hard this is to do, sometimes, when something seems so overwhelming in the moment. But this is also the time that I encourage you to turn to God and to think about God instead of the problem.

Divine timing is at work in all things. You can be flexible regarding timetables and schedules. Delays or setbacks often serve a valuable purpose, although often it cannot be seen at the time. You look for the good and adopt a relaxed, trusting attitude toward the people and circumstances in your life. You know that God is with you, and God is always at work. You are comforted in this knowledge. You are patient in knowing that all things are working together for good under God’s wise direction.

Even in those times … you will feel God’s loving presence.
