When someone is going through a hard time, Amy is the one they go to! She always seems to know just the right thing to say to encourage them and make them feel better.
One day as I was traveling with Amy, someone came to her for encouragement and shared about how hard it was to trust God with a situation they were going through. They laid out all their problems before Amy saying, “I just don’t know how God is going to get me through this! It’s too hard; it’s impossible!” Right then Amy turned to the person, looking them in the eyes and saying assuredly, “Well, you’re here, aren’t you?”
When we are going through a hard time, it’s easy to forget all the good things that God has already done for us in the past. But the truth is, if you’re here, it means that God has already gotten you this far! And I promise you that if He has gotten you this far, He’s not going to leave you! The Bible tells us that God always finishes what He starts!
So today, take some time to remember all the amazing things that God has done for you. I believe as you take your eyes off of your problems and look to your loving Savior, you will find peace growing within, and it will fill your heart!
1 Samuel 7:12
“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “thus far has the Lord helped us.”
Be encouraged today because God is with you.
