CHAPLAIN’S CORNER

Words: Jim Edleston

from the craziness and will give you the rest you need. You just need to ask Him.

Reflect.

As we rest, focus on how good God is. He knows what we need before we even need it. He has plans for us that we cannot even imagine!

Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

James 1:5

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. He wants to give you the understanding of his perfect plans for you, if you just ask.

Renew

As we find the rest we need and work on getting closer to God’s love for us, we will become more of what He wants us to be… more like Him, less like the world.

Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable

Colossians 3:10

…and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him

Resolve

Finally, with His directions laid out for us, His plans and will (not ours), resolve to follow Him wherever He takes us.

Micah 6:8

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Hebrews 10:36

36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

To my FTR family: have a blessed and safe summer!!!!

Blessings on and off the road, Jim and Betty Edleston CMA
