“This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and If I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth, then I might reject the descendants of David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendents of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.  Jeremiah 33:25-26

Restoration has always been the plan. His plans cannot be derailed. 

The above verse. The words fixed order kept jumping out. God continued to remind them, “Look I set the day and the night in order so why wouldn’t I keep my promise with you?” That is the one thing that will always stand out. God who created the heavens and the earth sets everything in motion. God is still God. Think of the birds. Something that we see every single day is a reminder of God’s Faithfulness. They don’t worry about food, shelter, and water because God provides for them. Something I see every single day should be the reminder, “Remember child I got you.” 

Look around. What do you see?

He is the God of Promise. Jesus is the Light of the world. We are the Light in this world. 

“It’s about how we hold God before us and how we live from a place of being held by Him.” (Strahan  Coleman) 

God is more than a feeling. I recently have been learning more about how what He requires from me is to be still. Just be with Him. Prayer needs to be me sitting and having conversation with Him not me with my lists. It seems simple yet I find myself wanting to do more. My feelings will always be there but God has been working on me understanding that feeling things is how He created me but even more those quiet silent moments are what He has given me to remember that He is there. That not experiencing feelings of Him being near is actually a really good thing and the quiet of not feeling His Spirit near is when I can know Him more. Faith. 

Inviting Him to know Him more. Sitting with Him and being held. Slowing down enough to see where he was working. 

So what do we do with the silence? We remind ourselves. We look to creation and remember. We look at all the things He has done. He has a fixed plan and that still remains. Invite Him into the silence. 

“He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17
