Today is Spiritual Sunday. How was your week? Were you successful in your plans? Or are you feeling like a failure because you weren’t able to accomplish all that you had planned? Did things not go as you wanted?

As I prayed about my post for today, God laid the song “The God Who Stays” by Matthew West on my heart. The first few lines of the song are:

“If I were you I would have given up on me by now. I would have labeled me a lost cause. ‘Cause I feel just like a lost cause.”

Sometimes I feel like a failure when life is overwhelming and I am not able to accomplish all the “stuff” I feel like I should get done. If I allow Satan to guide my thoughts I can spiral into a space of self-directed negativity. However, God assures me that, unlike the person in today’s photo, I am not alone on this journey. God is here to guide, direct, and walk by my side.

Then I watched Julie’s “See You Saturday” video and she underscored all that God was telling me. Wow! Go God!

At some time during your Sabbath today , I encourage you to watch the videos below and allow God to give you strength, courage, and direction for your week ahead. Allow God to give you the comfort, peace and rest to walk into next week assured of the Almighty’s presence no matter what!
