Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever....
I've had that verse running through my mind for a few days and it brings a great sense of peace with it. It reminds us that God knows all about what is concerning us, whether it's neighbours, family, job, health, finances, whatever - He knows.
It's one thing to know about it but it's another altogether to know God is perfecting what concerns us. In other words He's sorting it out in the best possible way for our good. We don't always know what the best thing is for us, whether to move or to stay, whether to say something or keep quiet, whether to change job or not. But God knows and He'll show us because He knows what's round the corner and He's promised us a future and a hope, not to harm us but to bless us.
On those days when we feel fed up or downhearted all He asks of us is that we keep having an expectation of good from Him, to keep our hope alive that all will be well, to keep believing His promises that He will lead and guide us every step of the way.
He wants to remind us today to cast our concerns on Him having assurance that He is listening and He will work out His plans for our lives. So next time you 'think' nothing is changing or that God's not doing anything, may I encourage us all to forsake those thoughts and let God carry on transforming us by helping us think and remember "God is perfecting that which concerns me, and it's going to be even better than I think.😊"
