He is God in the Highs and the Lows

I know life is hard. We all struggle. The past few months of my life have been full of highs and lows. I took my eyes off God and that got me in a extremely low place where I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm definitely no blogger, but I want to share the truth of what God can do for you. God is God in the highs and in the lows. Sometimes we forget how much we need God when everything is going right. I know that when everything is going according to my plan I can often times put Jesus on the back burner. That is when there is a problem, I am following my plan and not God's. We have to know that Jesus is in everything. He is the one that gives us that job promotion that leaves us feeling on top of the world, but He is also the one that takes a job away from us when He knows it is not what we need. We have to love God and praise Him even when we are in a spot that is tough for us. The past week of my life a word that God has thrown at me a lot is hope. I felt hopeless. Like everything in my life was just falling apart and there was nothing I could do about it. The song I Have This Hope by Tenth Avenue North has been playing on repeat the last couple of days. The song is an amazing reminder of how God is always with us even when we are down in a low place. Right now I have joy in the middle of hard times, because I know that God will bring me through anything that He puts in my path. Ask God to give you direction in your life and He will, it might not always be the answer that you want. Sometimes we want the easy way out, but when we take Gods way it is the best possible way we can go. Trust that God will bring you out of the situation and He will. God will use both the good and the bad to mold and shape you into the best possible version of you. Do not lose hope in the face of trials, instead run to God arms wide open, because He is waiting there for you.

 Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
   do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
