— Midweek Meditations:
thoughts, inspiration and encouragement
from ACF community members —
Trust in the lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path.
Proverbs 3:5-6:
The middle of the week often feels like a rush- of deadlines, exams, meetings, unanswered prayers. It’s easy to wonder if God has forgotten us.
But the truth is, his timing is divine, it is perfect, even when it doesn’t match our own. God see’s the full picture we can’t see.
I’ve turned 18 last week, which in itself is something quite incredible because now I’m viewed as an adult even though I don’t feel any different than I did when I turned 12. I got this far in life (which I know isn’t so far but still) because I trust Gods timing, his plan, because at the end of the day whatever he wants for me, will find me. Waiting isn’t wasted time; its where God grows our trust. It’s where he strengthens our faith. Maybe the delay is preparing us, maybe its protecting us, or maybe its simply drawing us closer to him.
This week, if you are tempted to hurry God’s work in your life, Pause. Pray. Trust. He’s never late.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for helping me through another week. Help me to trust your plan and your timing even when I don’t understand it. Remind me that you are working for my good, even in the waiting. Amen.
The ACF Midweek Meditations
are written by a diverse group of our church members with the intention to seek God’s fingerprints in our lives. They range from somber to humorous and are inspired by all facets of live and faith. Written by ordinary people from all walks of life, they reflect a wide range of Christian backgrounds and spiritualities.
Each week’s text portrays the individual viewpoint of its author. They might not always resonate with everyone, and are not meant to be understood as representing the Anglican Church Freiburg as a whole. Yet, as a church that is aiming to ‘Build a Community of Grace’ we seek to practice learning from and listening to one another.
We pray that these humble ponderings add a small spark of blessing to your week.
