Day 32 - You Can’t Stay Here

The journey of grief is one that you must ultimately decide to complete. You cannot remain where you are right now. Time moves forward, and so must you.

“You can’t stay here because God’s Word is always going forward,” says Dr. Ray Pritchard.

In Philippians 3:14 Paul says that he moved forward toward “the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (NASB). The Christian life is not static. It is a walk with God that moves you forward into a larger life with God.

The Lord’s plan for your life is pure and simple during this time of grief: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8 NASB).

Lord, may I simply walk with You. Take my hand and guide me through every moment of this day. Amen.
