Hebrews 13:8 say's "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." What an awesome truth. Lately I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster and I have been more stressed than ever about work. A good friend of mine pointed out the fact that emotion has the word "motion" in it and its okay to expect that our emotions will change frequently. That was a cool ah ha moment for me. But God has also reminded that He is my ROCK. I am brought back to the truth that though my circumstances and emotions may be changing, God is infinitely the same. Psalm 33:11 say's "But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations." I cannot thwart God's plans, no matter how big the roller coaster ride! I rest in that truth today.
I leave for a conference in Atlanta tomorrow and I'm excited to dream big dreams for ministry. On the one hand I have been exhausted this past month and have not found any time to truly rest other than my trip to Cleveland for my grandfather's funeral. I am recognizing there is a constant demand in ministry and I need to fight for rest and renewal. When I return from this trip I am going to start saying "no" even if its a good thing and I have someone holding me accountable so that I can say "yes" to rest and solitude with my Abba.
So today I run to Yahweh Tsuri, "The Lord my Rock."
