March · Day 74 of 365

Wait, and See

Renewal & Hope

Scripture
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Job 11:18 (KJV)

Reflection

Some seasons stretch the soul thin. Job 11:18 speaks tenderly into that stretching: "And thou shalt be secure, because there…" The Lord does not despise weariness; He meets it. He invites the tired to come, the heavy to rest. There is no shame in needing renewal. There is great wisdom in admitting it early. Today, name what is weighing on you and bring it honestly to God. He is not surprised. He is not disappointed. He is faithful. Hope is rising, even when you cannot yet see it.

Prayer

God of all comfort, restore what is weary in me. Anchor my soul in Your faithfulness. Amen.

Thought for the Day

What am I waiting for, and what does it look like to wait well?
