Resting in God’s Wisdom

Scripture:

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” — Romans 11:33

Personal Reflection:

I often want to tell God how to run my life. But the storms teach me that His wisdom far exceeds my understanding. What confuses me is clear to Him.

Contemplation:

Where am I demanding answers instead of trusting God’s wisdom?

Puritan Quote:

Thomas Brooks wrote, “God’s ways are dark, but they are wise.”

Prayer:

Lord, help me to rest in Your wisdom even when Your ways are hidden from me.

Application:

Surrender one unanswered question to God—trusting His wisdom over your need for clarity.

 

God’s Presence in the Storm

Scripture:

“Fear not, for I am with you.” — Isaiah 41:10

Personal Reflection:

Fear loses its grip when I remember that God is not distant—He is present. The storm may roar, but His presence whispers peace.

Contemplation:

Do I act as if I go through my trials alone?

Puritan Quote:

Samuel Rutherford wrote, “Wherever Christ is, there is heaven.”

Prayer:

Lord, remind me moment by moment that You are with me. Let Your presence overpower my fears.

Application:

Whenever anxiety rises today, repeat: “God is with me.”

 

The Word of God in the Storm

Scripture:

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

Personal Reflection:

When life becomes dark, the Word of God becomes my guiding light. Nothing steadies my heart more than Scripture speaking into my circumstances.

Contemplation:

Do I run first to God’s Word—or to my worries?

Puritan Quote:

Jeremiah Burroughs said, “The Word is that by which we come to know God, and by which we come to enjoy God.”

Prayer:

Father, illuminate my path with Your Word. Let Scripture shape my thoughts, my reactions, and my hopes.

Application:

Meditate on one verse repeatedly today. Let it guide your decisions.

Trusting God When I Cannot See

Scripture:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7

Personal Reflection:

I love clarity; I dislike uncertainty. Yet God calls me to follow Him even when visibility is low. Faith is stepping toward God’s will when the path ahead is not fully lit.

Contemplation:

What keeps me from trusting God when circumstances are unclear?

Puritan Quote:

John Owen wrote, “Faith’s act is to trust Christ for that which we do not see.”

Prayer:

Father, strengthen my faith to walk forward even when I do not understand Your ways.

Application:

Take one step today—however small—in an area where fear has stopped your obedience.
