What’s The Best That Could Happen?

My home is a gallery of positive quotes and affirmations. I was very intentional about that. However, I often get caught up in the emotional waves of life and forget what is in front of me. 

What’s The Best That Could Happen?

It is interesting how wired our brains are to brace ourselves for the worst-case scenario. We tend to ask ourselves, “What’s the worst that could happen?” I work in the events industry, so I am always careful to prepare for things to deviate from the plan.  

But I had to stop and ask myself why I was operating like this in my personal life.

 Why am I living in fear?  Why am I worried? When has God ever failed me? 

Even when I made mistakes, somehow God’s grace covered me.

Let us challenge ourselves to put our entire faith in whatever God has promised us. Let us believe that all will work out beyond what we can imagine. Let us allow God to exceed our expectations.

I know you are feeling the WEIGHT of the WAIT.

It may even feel tantalizing to see previews of the promise instored. You can see it, but the proximity is not in reach. 

Don’t meddle in it, and try to take matters into your own hands. The adversary loves to attack your mind with cunning questions and confusion. Look at the story of The Temptation in the Garden; the portal of sin opened with a question. 

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ : “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬: “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

What can you do in between seasons?

Relax in God and be reassured that He sees you, He knows you, and He cares for you.

Take the first step in believing that he won’t let you fall. You’ve survived every hurdle in your past, why would he stop now?

Always remember, for everything, there is a season and appointed time. 

So what’s the best that could happen? 

You will be qualified for the promise:  What you’re enduring now is shaping you into who you need to be to HANDLE the blessing. 

What’s the best that could happen? 

You will be open to receiving the promise: There’s nothing worse than God trying to give you a blessing but there’s no room for him to work. Allow the pruning to flow in your life. 

What’s the best that could happen?

You will be free to operate in light and love that glorifies God: When your time comes you won’t have to live through the lens of trauma but of assurance that God only wants to give you the best-case scenario. 

Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
