The Day Between

Today is Easter Saturday. The day that falls after Good Friday and before Easter.

Yesterday, Christians all over the world celebrated the sacrificial death of Jesus and tomorrow, his resurrection. Praise God!

But what about today? When I think back to Bible times, I wonder what Jesus' disciples were thinking. Feeling. Were they full of faith, waiting for three days to pass and see Jesus resurrected as he had told them would happen? Were they so filled with grief, in denial, that they forgot his words or felt abandoned?

This was the day they had to trust what Jesus said about who he was despite the evidence showing the contrary. This was the day all those watching could give them a big "I told you so" or "Aren't you foolish?" comment. And did that shake them or were they confident, all in, not caring what others said or did?

In life, we all have times where we have to wait for God to fulfill his promises. Where we are tempted to doubt and maybe feel sorry for ourselves just a little bit for all we are having to endure as we wait.

Or maybe we haven't decided who or what we will believe. Maybe we are facing a circumstance that has rattled us to the core and left us feeling hopeless.

The good news is the in-between days don't last forever. God will fulfill his promises. He will not let us down. Whether we are confused or hopeful. Confident or doubting. On top of the mountain or in the valley. God is faithful!

Just like Sunday came and Jesus was resurrected, restoring hope and proving himself true to his word, He will come to you, meeting you where you are and showing you his unchanging love. His compassion. His tender mercies.

This is a first for me, but I really feel like I need to let anyone reading this know, if you need someone to talk to or pray with you, please feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to help you if I can. :)
