Even at 55 I have dreams and wishes of plans for the future. I guess you never outgrow such things… at least I sure hope not. My husband is sweet to listen and let me go on… sometimes dreaming with me.
Today as we traveled through the rain, right before us down the highway, a beautiful rainbow appeared across the sky. We watched the colors fade and darken and sometimes disappear completely from sight. It was fun to round a corner and see it appear again – just waiting.
“I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It’s the sign of My covenant with you and with all the earth… the rainbow will appear and I will remember…” Genesis 9:13-15
That rainbow reminded me: no matter what tomorrow brings, God is faithful. He remembers everything – every word, every covenant, every promise of His. And He will never forget those who belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19). That I can count on.
I don’t think my Father minds that I have an active wishlist, as long as I bring it before Him, lay it down, and trust Him with the final outcome and greatest plan to prevail. Unlike me, He sees the end from the beginning… and the best possible way to get there.
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’ Isaiah 46:10
Yes, I can trust You with my heart, because You will do what’s best.
“Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.” Psalm 37:4-5
