The Best is Yet to Come

Today a chapter ended and another one opened in my life. It was the closing to an era I thought would never end.  I would like to have some majestic words of wisdom or deep insight but I do not. The truth of the matter is seasons change in the climate and seasons change in our lives, its just the way it is.

I sit here not with anxiousness but with an eager heart. I am going to move forward not with dread or fear but with anticipation of what God is going to have me do next because I know He is not done with me. As this season closed I am leaving with an expectation that God has a plan and that He will lead me to it. There is hope in expectancy!

I don’t know what you are facing in your life but I want to encourage you that hope is not far from your reach. Believe and achieve reach for the sky or as the sign in my office says Pray Big!

I think when a chapter closes in our life we have a tendency to think it’s the end, life is over  with the best behind us. Not true. The best is yet to come! God told Jeremiah (29:11) ¹¹ For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.

If we break this scripture down it means God has plans for us to thrive or succeed (prosper means to flourish). His intentions are that we have a life filled with confidence in Him, anticipation that He hears us, that He will never leave us, and that He will provide for us. We are not doomed and we do not have to stay in despair (even if the season is changing and we are running around saying the sky is falling because after all that is how we feel on the inside). We are not tethered to a season that has expired but called into the present, a fresh season full of possibilities. There is HOPE. Hope is seeing the possible in the impossible.

The BEST IS YET TO COME! Why? Because you have not reached your final destination yet… the best is yet to come so enjoy the journey, find joy in the little things, and have a thankful heart regardless of your situation. You were made in the image of God, He predestined you for GOOD things, and You are still a work in progress. The best is yet to come… forward is the future and forward faith will shoot you… C.S. Lewis wrote “there are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

Oh the wonders Alice discovered when she fell down the rabbit hole… sometimes we just have to jump in faith to discover all the curiosities and marvels God has planned for our life.

We are not meant for  just “better” we are made and destined for the BEST…(because we are created out of the BEST!)

I hope you start your week off with child-like curiosity in steadfast faith that helps you see the awe of God in the wonders of the world around you… the best is yet to come.

Good Evening Ladies…
