I am so incredibly blessed by God, but that doesn't mean my life is free of pain or suffering. As I watched this short film I could relate to the message of it. I could relate to feeling I knew God's will and yet seeing that what seemed like promises from God were not fulfilled. As I remain filled with faith and patience I also see that good things happen as I "wait upon the Lord," versus if I begin to question and worry things aren't going to work out alright.
Even now I wait to see God's hand in larger matters in my life, but in the meantime I have to walk through what feels like a large, dry, hot, and exhausting and painful desert. What's so interesting is that I have been feeling at peace, instead being in tears and disconsolate emotional duress. While I slept I heard these words of a scripture come into my thoughts,"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)
I discovered this video today, and I think it illustrated just one of the many wonderful ways that God keeps his promises--in His own due time.

May you keep your sight Jesus Christ in all you do, and you will have his peace to attend to you.

I felt truly thankful for that reminder. I do know that I am being buoyed up by the peace of God, and I also know that if we are faithful to following his commandments and living in a way to please God each hour of each day we will find that we are blessed with a peace that no earthly source can imitate. I will keep trying with my every breath to be found worthy of His peace.
