As I sit down to write today, my heart is heavy yet filled with gratitude. The news has been troubling—reports of Hezbollah's plans to send missiles to Tel Aviv. But once again, we saw the hand of God at work, as Israel's intelligence discovered the threat ahead of time. Our fighter jets were sent out, and the weapon sites were destroyed before they could cause unimaginable harm.

 Have you ever wondered where God is in the midst of tragedy and sorrow? I can only share from my own journey and say that He was right there with me when I received the heartbreaking news that my beautiful Candy had passed away at 29 years old while I was far away in Israel in 2000. Just eighteen months later, my youngest daughter Dana, also at 29 years old, left this earth to join her sister in heaven, leaving me with an empty heart, but not alone.
 Today, I feel a gentle nudge from the Holy Spirit, drawing me closer to the heart of my Heavenly Father. It’s a beautiful reminder that He knew me long before I ever took my first breath. Even before I was formed in my mother’s womb, He had already woven my life’s journey with His tender care and purpose. It’s so comforting to think that my future was crafted with love and is filled with His goodness and hope.
I’m reminded of how intimately God knows me and the plans He has for me. The Spirit whispers that my life is part of a divine tapestry, one that is meant to bring glory to Him and joy to my heart. Sometimes, the weight of past hurts and fears can cloud my vision, but today, I choose to focus on the promise that my Father has a future full of hope and possibility. In moments of uncertainty, I find solace in the truth that my Father’s plans are always for my good. He invites me to rest in His presence and trust in His guidance. I’m learning to embrace His dreams for me, dreams that are far beyond anything I could imagine. So today, I’m pausing to invite Him to open my heart and ears to His voice. I want to hear what’s on His heart for me and my future. I choose to believe that His love will see me through every challenge and lead me to a place of peace and fulfillment. “For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB) This verse reassures me that no matter what I face, God’s plans are always aimed at my well-being. It’s His promise of a future filled with hope, even when I can’t see it myself. “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you.” Psalm 139:13-18 (NASB): This verse reminds me of the incredible care God took in creating me and how He has been with me through every moment of my life. His thoughts about me are so numerous and loving, and His presence is constant. In embracing these truths, I find renewed strength and hope. My Father’s love and plans for me are unwavering, and they give me the confidence to face each day with faith and anticipation.  It’s a New Day! I’m letting go of the painful memories and hurts of yesterday. I’ve decided not to let the darkness of last night’s sorrow and tears linger but to let them fade into the dawn of a brand-new day. Today, I choose to be free—free from the pain and fear of my past so I can step into the life and destiny my Father in heaven has promised me.
I’ve chosen to forgive those who betrayed, lied, and rejected me, blessing them as I let hope replace the heartache of yesterday. I want the Light of Yeshua to fill my heart with joy. Now, I will rise up in faith, embracing the bright and promising future that lies ahead! |
