STICK TO IT
LAMENTATIONS 3:25 (CEB)
The Lord is good to those who hope in him, to the person who seeks him.
HEBREWS 10:35 (MSG)
It’s still a sure thing! But you need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You'll not be sorry if you stick with God and his plan.
PRAYER
Good and gracious God, you repeatedly show how you work things together for good. I am sorry I get impatient when I don't know what to do or a door closes on my plans. Help me to wait in quietness and trust. I am confident you will fulfill your plans and purposes for me. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
