Morning Reflections: Embracing God's Promises with Childlike Faith.

As I stepped out of bed this morning, my thoughts weren't immediately consumed by the day's tasks or responsibilities. Instead, I remembered a promise I made to my puppy, Peppermint – to shower her today. Her excited eyes sparkled as she ran to greet me, anticipating the fulfillment of my promise. This simple moment stirred a profound reflection within me.

Typically, our mornings begin with the weight of daily schedules, job demands and responsibilities. We rush to organize our day, anxious not to waste a single moment. But in our haste, we overlook a crucial truth: God's plans differ significantly from ours.

Peppermint's unwavering excitement and trust in me, despite not fully understanding my words, exemplify the blind love and faith we should have in God. We rarely consider His promises with the same eagerness. Yet, Scripture assures us that God's plans are for our prosperity, not harm (Jeremiah 29:11).

Like Peppermint, we should awaken each morning with excitement for God's promises, trusting His grace and love to provide. Our focus should shift from worldly demands to divine possibilities. In Psalm 37:4-5, we're reminded to delight in the Lord and trust Him with our ways.

Even when God's plans perplex us, we can rest assured they're for our good. His love transcends human understanding. As I expressed to God, "I love You, Your love for me is unmeasurable." This conviction frees us to surrender to His will.

This morning's encounter with Peppermint taught me a valuable lesson: approach each day anticipating God's promises, not just earthly responsibilities. May we embrace childlike faith, trusting God's love and plans, even when unclear. For in His will lies our true prosperity.
