Saturday

Where is God when you're waiting? 

Jesus had died, and I'm guessing the disciples were completely unsure about what to do. They didn't have the answers, and the One who did was dead. But God can use the waiting, the silences, to build our trust. He promises that He has a good plan for us - do you trust Him?

God's word tells us that those who wait on Him will have their strength renewed. If you're waiting for an answer, or for direction, or for Him to speak, take time to thank Him for an opportunity to trust. 

Sunday is coming.

Friday

Where is God when things seem like they're falling apart?

2,000 years ago, when Jesus was hanging on the cross, I'm sure a similar question ran through the minds of the disciples. Where is God now? How could this be happening? Is sin winning? When in reality, one of the most miraculous and amazing events was taking place - the God of the universe was taking our sin upon himself, literally dying to forgive and free you and me. 

When you feel like things are falling apart, remember that God is still at work, and He is working all things for good. We can trust Him even when we don't know what he's doing. 

It's Friday but Sunday is coming.
