I recently read an article that made reference to ‘God’s Hour’.  It didn’t explain what that meant but it really intrigued me.  What if we chose to live in God’s Hour all the time? Our lives can get pretty complicated and we can be overwhelmed by all the junk that is thrown at us.  Problems in a relationship, a health crisis, financial woes, or job frustrations can ruin our day.  These are just a few of the things that cause us stress and fill our thoughts.

But Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”  If we internalize that, life gets a lot easier.  Here’s why: we don’t have to figure it all out.  That’s incredible!  We don’t have to figure out how to solve all the problems that arise in our day.  We can trust God to take care of them.  Sometimes the challenges are so big we don’t have a hope of fixing them on our own.  But unfortunately, we keep replaying them in our minds.  This is not a great way to live, fretting and worrying every day.

But trust this: God has our backs.  We sometimes look into the future and think things are never going to work out  for us but it says in Joshua 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future.”   God is thinking about our future, and he is planning for it to be beautiful.  So why don’t we take each moment of our day and think of it as God’s Hour?  It will help us to unload all that junk that is clogging our minds.  As we release the worries of the day we can fill our minds with things that make us smile, bring us joy, and fill us with peace. And why not?  It’s God’s Hour.
