Divine Power and Precious Promises for the 5 a.m. Feeding
Do you ever make resolutions in an attempt to alleviate the pressure you feel? Get the kids on a better nap schedule, tackle that pile of stuff that is swelling out of the closet, get disciplined with diet and exercise.
Sometimes we treat our spiritual lives this way, too. We think we will feel closer to God once we’ve got a handle on life. But control over our circumstances is elusive, and a harsh master to serve. At the end of the day we must embrace the fact that we can’t organize our way into communion with God.
Longing for a connection with God but feeling trapped in the mundane is the story of my life. But I’m here to tell you there’s hope for you to change, and God wants to meet you there. Right there. With spit-up dripping down your back and salty, bitter tear stains on your cheeks. He loves you, he’s with you, and he offers you the gift of himself to enjoy forever.
Ultimately, that struggle is not about your circumstances. It’s about peace with God. And God has provided a way for you to have that peace that dominates any and all circumstances, regardless of how difficult they are. We need to go to God’s Word to discover how being in Christ changes the way we face the monotonous daily grind. And how the gospel makes us into servants of the Lord who rest in the peace of God—even in the midst of the chaos in our heart.

ስለዚህ እቅድ
Sometimes life feels a lot like a burden—day in and day out it’s the same chores and tasks, anxieties and responsibilities. So where is God in all of this? Does he care about the way we unload the dishwasher or balance the budget? Do the little things like changing diapers make a difference? We all need encouragement to see the reality of God’s grace in all of life.
