College students, can you believe that it is fall break? I can't, but it is definitely a much needed one. As the stresses of school and everyday life build up, it is nice to have a chance to escape reality. It is through these times that I meditate on Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This has always been true. God is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jehovah Jireh our provider...there are so many titles that can be placed on him, but the fact of the matter is he is faithful, no matter what.
We all wish life was perfect, and we could get answers to everything right now. But we can't. We must be patient. There is waiting, trials, and tribulations. But it is important that we remember Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,'" declares the LORD, "'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" No matter what we go through in the here and now, we must remember that if we go according to God's plan, it is worth the stress, it is worth the trials, it is worth the tests he allows to come our way. God will always provide a way out, he will always provide a means to get through, as long as we follow what he wants according to his plan.
