Daily Devotion – To Rest in His Wisdom and Strength

by | Jun 3, 2020 | Scattered Seeds, Uncategorized | 1 comment

The first thing I do when I get on an airplane is sleep. I like to sleep in cars too. In fact, as far back as I can remember I’ve been sleeping for most of the ride.

Maybe it’s the steady hum of the motor that lulls me to sleep, or perhaps it’s my faith in the driver. My guess is that it’s a combination of both. 

So it is with life.

We’re on a journey in which we can either trust the pilot enough to rest in His wisdom and lean on His strength or we can struggle with unrest and doubt.

I’m choosing to rest, while the steady hum of the engine reminds me He’s near. I’m choosing to trust that the same faithful God who brought us this far will bring us much further yet.

Tilling the Soil

Read Joshua chapter one. Highlight every time God tells Joshua to be strong and courageous. Use another color to highlight every time God reminds Joshua that He will be with him. Now highlight them both in your heart and your mind.

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8, NIV)

Darlene Schacht and her husband Michael live in Manitoba Canada where the summers are beautiful and the winters are cold. Together they’ve come to learn that relationships aren’t always easy, but that marriage, the way God intended it to be, is a treasure worth fighting for.

She began her publishing journey about twelve years ago when she pioneered one of the first online magazines for Christian women, known at the time as “Christian Women Online Magazine.” After three years, Darlene left CWO to blog as a solo author at Time-Warp Wife Ministries.

It was also during this transition that she worked alongside actress Candace Cameron Bure to write the NYT Best-Selling book, Reshaping it All: Motivation for Spiritual and Physical Fitness. Reshaping it All was the winner of both the 2011 USA Best Book Awards and the 2012 Christian Reading Retailers Choice Awards.

Author of more than 15 books, Darlene continues to write and to minister to her readers through her blog at TimeWarpWife.com.

    I heard a similar concept described as you are either a BIG Godder or LITTLE Godder.

    Either you God is too little to handle life’s bumpy road with pot holes and detours and might get lost, which then naturally you will not be able to rest and fall asleep feeling safe and secure.

    Or your God is a BIG God that has the road ahead, can handle anything including all potential road blocks and conditions, which brings you the feeling of safety and comfort and freedom.

    Sleep tight, you Father has the steering wheel.
