As so many of you know, it is Easter weekend. Yesterday was Good Friday and tomorrow will be Easter. But there is something about this Saturday that I like. This is the time after Jesus's death and the day before the resurrection. I see this Saturday as a day uncertainty. For the disciples, they had just lost the one who they were following, so they are trying to figure out what to do next. Now for us, we already know how this story ends, with Jesus rising from the dead. But the disciples couldn't see the future, so they didn't know how awesome the next day will be.
I feel like often times, we are like the disciples. Sure we may not have lost someone who we have gave up our whole lives to follow, but we all get caught in this time of transition, where something devastating happens, and you are left to wonder what to do next, not knowing how amazing the next day will be. Ecclesiastics 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven," and Ecclesiastics 8:6 says, "For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him." These are just two of the verses that talk about how good God's timing really is. Nothing is just through together in our lives, but God knows how your story will unfold down to the last detail. Sure you may be caught in this "Saturday" time, but have hope because you don't know how awesome the next day will be.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for sending your Son to die on the cross for our sins, and thank you for his resurrection three days later. I pray that as we go through transitions in our life that you will be there to guide us, and to trust in what you have in store for us. Thank you Lord for all that you have done for me.
