Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.
Psalm 119:111-112
It is in tough times such as these that our deep longings and desires, our innermost hurts and wounds from our past seem to come to the forefront of our minds as the facade of false hopes and dreams fades away in light of current economic times. It is in these times that we find ourselves asking the most probing and sometimes fearful questions like: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Why have I failed so miserably? What lies ahead? Where is the joy that I hear so much about but haven’t experienced? Why was I created? Where is God? The answer to these questions is so easy that it will make your head spin as God reveals the reason why things are as they are and the reason that you were placed in the middle of this story that can be so confusing at times. God created you to have an intimate relationship with Him, a relationship where you communicate with Him and He with you as He transforms and restores your heart by His Spirit that lives inside. God created you to leave a Godly heritage, not by anything that you do within yourself but by surrendering to His will in the smallest of activities throughout your day, obeying His statutes not out of a spirit of guilt but rather out of a spirit of love, His love overflowing and pouring out of you as a result of your intimate relationship with your creator and friend who loves you more than you could ever imagine. Yes, true joy, genuine purpose, meaning and significance in this life come even in the most difficult of times as it is in these times that God does his most amazing work in our lives as He holds us in His loving arms that will never let us go. Rest in God’s amazing love today as you surrender to His will and let His love and joy overflow from your heart onto a world that is in desperate need of God.
