I have been going through a spiritually dry time. It has been a challenge and I feel as if I am struggling to communicate with and hear from God. If you have ever been through this before you will know that it is really difficult and something that you don’t wish to experience. Yesterday, while at home, I walked outside and came across this beautiful sight:

And in that moment, I just stopped what I was doing and stared at this beautiful creation of God. I instantly felt connected to my Father in heaven as I was reminded of His covenant with Noah and all living creatures:

“Understand that I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you—birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you—all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark. 11 I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations: 13 I have placed my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature. 16 The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the permanent covenant between God and all the living creatures on earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and every creature on earth.” – Genesis 9:9-17

While thinking about this promise of God I shared a quiet moment in prayer with my Father and was reminded that even though God might seem far away from me, this couldn’t be further from the truth as He is always available to me – even when I don’t feel it. And while thinking through the promises of God I came across an article online entitled: 11 Promises from Scripture God Wants You to Know (and Why) on ibelieve.com. I want to share a few of these promises with you along with scripture references so that you can be reminded of these truths regardless of what you are going through right now in this moment:

God Loves You Unconditionally (Romans 8:38-39)

You Are Never Alone (Deuteronomy 31:6 & Matthew 28:19-20)

God Formed You with Intention and Knows You Intimately (Psalm 121 & Ephesians 2:10)

 

Much love,

Luke
