Can I keep it real???? God, what is going on this year like really?? As if 2019 wasn't already a year of trials and struggles for many of us. 2020 came HARD and we still have a few months left of it. I've had to face a couple of trials myself from giving birth during a pandemic to losing a close family member around the same time to name a few. It has been difficult to focus on the promises of God. It has been difficult to pray and spend time with God. I can only imagine what many of you have had to experience yourselves in all of this.
I personally have had to sit down and question God about all of it...like why God? Why now? And for how long? People had plans. People had places to go and people to meet. I was frustrated and had to just vent it all out to him. I had a baby shower to do and that got cancelled. I had to give birth to my son by myself with just the medical staff in the room. We were suppose to go on a small vacation with the kids before the summer ended and now we're worried about traveling far without being quarantined when coming back. The truth of the matter is....God is "GRAN MOUN"---meaning an adult in haitian creole. It means he does what he wants, when he wants, how he wants PERIOD. We can question him until we're blue in the face..God owes us no explanation and if he does reveal the answers to us...we should be thankful and humbled because He is God. He knows ALL things. He sees beyond what we understand or see. DO.YOU.TRUST.HIM? Is your trust in the earthly things of this world?? I don't know about y'all but this pandemic has put me in check. We truly have no control over what happens...and if you're like me...who loves to be in control of things to feel safe...to feel secure...to feel accomplished then you know this pandemic has helped me to include God more in what I'm doing. To be vulnerable to Him and acknowledge that I truly need Him. Every hour, every minute, every second is NOT YOURS. Its not promised. You need the Father. You need Jesus. You need his direction. You need his wisdom in your daily decisions. You need his love in your relationships. His light in this dark world. I enjoy encouraging you guys because I'm not just speaking to you...its for me too. We are living in difficult times people. God is calling us to pay attention...get back to Him...and be in relationship with Him. He is our refuge. Our hiding place. Our HOPE. Our strength to keep living this life. Do you trust and believe that He is still who he says he is?? That he still has your best interests at heart. Psalm 62:8 says " O my people trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to him for God is our refuge." Despite all that is happening God still has a purpose for your life...do you trust Him with your life? Come back to Him. Learn to trust Him inspite of what you see or don't see. Seek Him for your life and stay connected to Him. He cares for you sis. You are His. He loves you! Yours truly, Naomie....daughter of the King
