Good morning. Happy Wednesday, everyone, or whatever day you're listening. Welcome back to the

messy masterpiece podcast with Chad and Tori. I'm Chad and I'm Tori and we're super excited to

vote ourselves daily to Christ with you all. Tori has a good devotional for us today and we're just

going to go and jump into it. We're going to jump on in you guys. Today we're in second Timothy

once again, specifically, second Timothy 112 and the devotional is titled Trust God's Plan. And it

says, this is why I'm suffering here in prison, but I am not ashamed of it for I know the one in

whom I've trust. And I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day

of his return. Love letter from God. Be loved child. I can use you no matter what your circumstances

are. Don't give up on me when you aren't where you want to be. Remember that I have a plan. I

am the author of your life and the finisher of your faith. No matter how it appears, your life

is not over until you take your last breath. My purpose for you is unstoppable. So don't give up

on me. Rise up so others can see that you belong to me and not to this world. It is your time

to receive all I have for you and to live for me. Love your Heavenly Father. The reflection says

wherever the Christian stands becomes holy ground, whether you're in prison like Paul or in a

palace like King Solomon, God is with you and can be trusted. No circumstance can keep his work

from being accomplished in and through you. Don't give up and don't back down until God's work

is done. The treasure of truth says no matter where you are, God is with you. I love that because

I feel like something we often forget to to think and to into like actualize in our life is that

God doesn't see things the way that we do. We're very much in the world and we're trying not to be

of it but we're constantly pressured from different various pressures whether it's the media or

friends or family or just our own thoughts. There's so many different internal pressures happening

that this is who we need to be and this is what we need to do and this is what we need to have.
