Today was a hard day. CT will be back soon, which means we’ll need to return her car. On top of that, my co-worker is going on vacation all next week, so we’ve been considering renting a car again to manage the situation.
To complicate things, I called Tom, and he mentioned a call from CarMax. They offered us a better payment option, trying to make it easier for us to get the Concorde back. It’s so tempting, especially given the predicament we’re in right now. I was leaning toward it, but I had to remind myself to look at Jesus and not the car.
I told the Lord how hard this was getting, and He gently reminded me: “Did you think it would get any easier?”
On the drive home, my co-worker offered to loan us his car if the "check engine" light can be reset. I’ll find out tomorrow if that’s a viable option.
In the meantime, I feel led to fast and pray. I’m setting aside my evening to seek God’s presence. I truly need to be with Him right now.
Scripture of the Day: Psalm 112:1-8
"Praise the LORD.
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who finds great delight in his commands.
His children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end, he will look in triumph on his foes."
This passage reminded me to stay steadfast and trust in the Lord, even when challenges feel overwhelming. My heart is secure because of Him, and I have no reason to fear.
Praise You, Lord, for being my strength and light in these moments.
