Happy Wednesday from Dogwood!
Today's encouragement comes from
Deuteronomy 31:6 :
āSo be strong and courageous! Donāt be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will never fail you or abandon you.ā
This hits home for me this week. I hope it blesses you as much as it's been blessing me.
This might sound a bit like last weeks encouragement but, over the past couple of weeks, God has been reminding me that even when my circumstances aren't what I hoped for, even when I don't understand, and even when I don't want to walk through the hard things, He remains the same. He is still a good God. He is still a loving Father and my strength can only be found in him alone. His character never changes.
There are tons scriptures and stories throughout the Bible that remind us of this! We can make all the plans we want, but if they aren't God's will, we cant force them to happen. And if they are His will, nothing can stand in the way. I have my own personal testimonies that prove that, and Dogwood is one of those testimonies.
So whether today is one of your best days or one of your hardest, remember this, you have a good Father who goes before you. He sees what you can't, He knows what's ahead, and His plans for you are always better than anything you could imagine. Trust Him, even when it's hard. He's never failed you, and He never will. I encourage you to take action this week, if you have a testimony which all of us do. Share it with someone! Thereās power in them and ultimately an uplifting spirit š¤
If you get the chance stop by Dogwood this week, Iād love to see you! Youāll also see this adorable strapless striped dress!
