Mamas,
Are you weary?
Are you unsure of your role in this season?
Are you longing for a different, easier season?
Where do we go when we feel these things?
"...Strength and joy are in His place."
I Chronicles 16:27
All we need is there,
in His presence,
yet we search and search elsewhere.
Chocolate is easier.
Doom-scrolling is easier.
Complaining is easier.
"...Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually."
I Chronicles 16:10-11
We tend to go anywhere but there,
in His presence.
Where He is,
where His strength is.
"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..."
James 4:8
What a precious promise for those seasons we don't like,
those painful times,
those confusing times.
He's taking those steps toward us,
as we move closer in faith,
believing in the goodness of the Father's heart.
This is where we will find mercy and grace for this season of need.
Drawing near,
taking the steps closer to Him.
"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:16
Then, we can proclaim,
"The nearness of God is my good."
"But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works."
Psalm 73:28
