Day Eight- Proverbs 3:6

"Seek His will in all you do, and He will keep your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6 Have you had an encounter with a pothole lately. Thankfully, I have not. But my husband drives a thirty-five minute stretch of interstate 75 everyday, and he says it's full of them. "And they get worse everyday." Hmm, sounds a little like my battles in weight loss and life sometimes?! Although my husband, is a very careful and focused driver, these skills are not even enough to avoid the potential of falling prey to another pothole. How does he do it?

Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?"

"I am the Lord thy God, and I do not change. That is why you, the descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?" Most of us can answer that question with a resounding "YES, with a capital YES!" But have we ever really thought about why we have "issues?" Most of us have "issues" of one form or another because of chaos and change in our lives where there should have been consistencey and peace. A lack of stability, where a firm foundation should have been laid. Fear, where safety should have existed. The absence of love, where there should have been an abundance. Because, "issues" have touched all of us God reminds us in His word that He does not change! He is " the same, yesterday, today and forever ." Hebrews 13:8 God offers me the consistency and stability I need. There is no need for me to attempt to create it on my own, He is ready and waiting to give it to me. Did you know th
