And what\u2019s more, it is God\u2019s greatest desire to be part of your today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just read through some of these encouraging words from Thessalonians.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMay God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.\u201d<\/em> (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMay our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.\u201d<\/em> (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMay the Lord direct your hearts into God\u2019s love and Christ\u2019s perseverance.\u201d <\/em>(2 Thessalonians 3:5 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, God wants to be part of our today to give us exactly what we need. Strength, guidance, the will to keep going, hope, sanctification, purpose or peace just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s song reminds us that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. But what we must remember is that it may not be the answer we were seeking. What I do know is that when it isn\u2019t, God will provide us with His sufficient grace to endure (2 Corinthians 12:9). And we will become stronger because of our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:10).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I pray that you will find encouragement through Scripture and song. I also pray that you will <em>\u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.\u201d<\/em> (Proverbs 3:5 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today.
