“I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle.

The wise sometimes goes hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It’s all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.”

Ecclesiastes 9:11 NLT

Hello family! I don’t know who needs encouragement today, but I felt led to share this scripture with anyone who might be facing an uncomfortable and difficult stage in their journey to the promise.

I understand that during this season, you may feel overwhelmed and as though God is not present. It might seem like everywhere you turn, everyone else’s time has come to live out their dreams.

In times like these, I’ve learned to seek God more, and He reminds me through scriptures and inspirational messages that He is there and that his favor will help me navigate through the difficult season.

We must not get distracted by what we see happening around us or how far along others are on their life path. God is in control, so we must let go of what is beyond our control. Keep your eyes on the promise.

There is an appointed time for your suffering to end and for the promise to be fulfilled. If we trust in Him, He will reveal the purpose behind every experience, give us the strength to endure the journey, and equip us with the wisdom to embrace the promise.

Be blessed,

Ronni Lauren💗
