Well, Hey Framily! Welcome to Coffee & Kathy, this is Stef from the Grief 2 Great Day Podcast. You are listening to our weekly devotional episode.

Grief is the hardest thing you’ll ever face, don’t ever let anyone diminish that – but let’s also not diminish the power of God’s Word and the transformational healing He will do in your life. I am a living testimony of going from pitiful (heartbroken, years of tears, angry at God & the world, overwhelmed and confused) to powerful (at peace, joyful and strong in my trust, hope and faith in God).

You are not alone and your today does not have to be your forever! Oh, I’m so glad you’re here today! What you need to do now is be still and just listen.

Memorable Quote:

But then there is the God of the Bible.

The One Who has revealed Himself in the pages of Scripture. The God Who IS – not the One I think He is. Or even the One I want Him to be.

God the Father, seated on His throne. Sovereign over all things.

With ultimate control of every circumstance. ALL powerful. ALL knowing. Completely pure. Holy. Perfect in all His ways.

The One who “…who changes the times and the seasons” and “…removes kings and establishes kings.” (Daniel 2:21) The One who makes “the king’s heart like channels of water” in His hand, turning it “whichever way He wishes.” (Proverbs 21:1, AMP) The One Who “delights in every detail of our lives”. (Psalm 37:23, NLT) The One Who “daily carries us in His arms” (Psalm 68:19, NLT) The One Who showed us His holiness in the giving of the Law, knowing we would break it.

And then also gave us His One and Only Son as the substitute for our punishment, knowing He did not want to live without us.

And that is just the beginning of Who the Bible says He is.

I don’t like all the changes it will take to become healthy. Living daily life holds its own challenges before undertaking real change and to try to live daily life and change reminds me of when I went through grief. And it is what I hear from a lot of you as well.

How are you expected to walk through grief and continue to carry on normal life? My health changes are time consuming and a mental challenge at times, but going through grief is a complete upheaval of what was – it is coming to terms with what is - and then walking into the unchartered territory of what will be.

Because of continuous injuries (that I’m not at all salty about), we’ve started stretching too! How much more do I have to do to not hurt? If that statement doesn’t describe going through grief, I don’t know what does.

Now, if you take away nothing else in this episode listen to these 3 statements to help you persevere in what seems like the endless days of grief.

WORD of the Week "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving" (Colossians 2:6–7).

Song of the Week Walk with Jesus by Consumed by Fire

Memorable Quote:

Jeremiah put it this way: “God’s mercies are new every morning.” God created us to love fresh starts. And so He created the rhythm of our days to give us a new beginning each morning. To begin anew each day.

Was yesterday a bad day?

Perhaps my circumstances were not what I would have liked. Perhaps I failed to conquer that one sin, that ongoing temptation. Perhaps I spent the day nursing a bad attitude.

Or operating strictly in my own strength. Perhaps I snapped at someone I loved. Or perhaps I chose to give them the cold shoulder.

Yesterday is gone. And today is a fresh start. Because His mercies are new every morning. Because great is His faithfulness. Because “weeping may last for the night but joy comes in the morning”. Because today I can choose to “set my mind on things above” rather than on the things of earth. Because “this is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
