I Am a Wise Woman: A Morning Mediation Series by BwfwomanSample

There is such beauty to be found in God, and within this beauty, there is a peace in God that calms your heart despite whatever you may be going through. The Bible says that God gives you beauty for your ashes, and it's all for your restoration.

Many of us could agree that sometimes, life doesn't work out the way we thought it would. But when we endure, we know a truth...if you just keep walking with God, He is gracious and merciful and will bring you full circle in your experiences. He will complete the good work He has started in you. He will use your previous situation to prepare you for what you've been asking Him to deliver.

But, you have to walk with Him. You have to decide to be obedient. You have to have one-on-one time with Him. The beauty in restoration you're waiting on is found at the foot of His throne, a place you reach when you go to God in prayer and meditation (Joshua 1:8) on a regular basis.

Beautiful, don't get bitter about the situation you went through. That's simply NOT the end of the story. That challenge you experienced is being shaped by God into the beginning of something beautiful. That fight, that loss, that deception, that death - it was designed by the enemy to LOOK like the end, to cause you to lose your hope. Don't believe it! Our God is such a GOOD God. He loves you so richly and deeply, and He cares for you. Keep walking with Jesus today, and let Him show you the complete, beautiful work He has for your life.
