Mosaic (Apr 12)

Happy Friday!

Spring is in the air.

The birds are energetic and chirping long before the sun comes up. The sun goes down later which means it's harder to wrangle the kids inside for bed. It feels like a season of hope, of new life, of change.

Even on the verge of the changing season, things aren't as simple as we wish for sometimes.

We may be waiting for answered prayers, for something to change in our circumstances, and in the meantime begin to doubt or become discouraged.

"Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you" (Ps 33:20-22)

The Lord remains our constant protector as he guards us and watches over us. We can experience joy in trusting his name and depending upon his love, for he is constant and unwavering, faithful when we are faithless.

What are you trusting the Lord for today?

Grace & Peace,

Amber
