Hey Guys!!
I accidentally took the month off! It's been a crazy four weeks of relocation, job changes, and lots of prayer. I didn't forget about you! That totally reminds me of my devotional this morning. God spoke to me today and said that I have not forgotten you. I still see you, even when you can't see what's going to happen next.
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. " (Isaiah 49:15-16 NIV).
I don't know about you, but I totally needed that awesome reminder, in this season of transition, that I am not forgotten and that He still sees and cares for me. Sometimes, when God doesn't speak, I feel as though He doesn't care. I know that this lie is associated with seeing God as my parent.
"Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6 NIV)
You may or may not know this about me, but I don't have a great relationship with my parents. Like, we don't even speak on a regular basis. They have their own lives and I have mine. I still pray for them and forgive them for abandoning me, but it is still an often painful reality.
However, my Abba is nothing like my earthly parents! He is the King of the universe and the Creator of all things!! The Creator of the moon, seasons, and oceans is my DAD!! How cool is that?
His word says, "No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. " (Joshua 1:5 NIV)
What an amazing promise! Thank Him, today, for His constant presence, even if you don't feel Him near. He is always with you. He loves us!! I don't know who this was for today, or maybe it was for me and I just needed to share the joys of it, but I hope this truth will be a constant reminder to your soul and will give you immediate strength and peace.
I missed y'all. There is so much I have to share with you. Buckle up!!
Loving you,
Chelsea Elizabeth
