Genesis 18:14 says, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?..” Abraham and Sarah had waited years for God to give them a child. They had even gone so far as to take matters into their own hands to get an heir. That was NOT God’s plan so Ishmael wasn’t the answer to His promise. Yet they were very surprised when years later along comes a messenger to say that Sarah is having a child even though she’s past the years of child bearing. I often wonder if we didn’t try to help God out with his plan , if the answer might arrive a little quicker. Possibly not, but still I enjoyed the reminder anyway. God keeps His promises. Always. While we’re waiting, we can know that our God is most certainly taking care of us.
I am trying to stop the people pleasing. Doing for others is wonderful when it’s healthy, but I now recognize there’s a line I shouldn’t cross. Problem is that I don’t always see the line. I asked for something today and yes, I felt guilty. Then I felt guilty for feeling guilty. Ug! This weekend I saw my limit come and go so I did walk away from some responsibilities I was unable to do. It felt good to be strong enough to do that and two days later I am a wimp again. Regardless, it’s on me to be honest not on my friends and family to guess. So trying and sometimes failing. I am thankful that God is still working. I realized that although it’s small, I have changed. All that to say, don’t give up on people too quickly.
