“Sometimes, God allows the reset because He’s removing the wrong foundations so He can build something that will actually last” (from the app formerly known as Twitter).

I read that sentence and I think that’s me. I feel like maybe I’m in reset mode. I know sometimes with the wifi, you need to shut it down and leave it unplugged for a bit to get it working again. When that doesn’t work, sometimes you need to hit that tiny reset button to fix it.

I’d rather go through the reset than have the wrong foundation. After all, we know what happened in Jesus’ parable to the man who build his house on sand instead of a solid foundation. It was fine until the storms came and then it wasn’t. It simply wasn’t there anymore. It was gone.

I want my foundation to be secure. I want to know that when life gets messy, my bedrock is sure. I know that God’s not going to allow anything that’s not for my good and His glory. But I want to get that order right. First, His glory then my good. But really, His glory IS my good. Because God is good, He can’t want anything that’s not good. He can’t want anything that’s not the absolute best for His child.

So I can rest in the reset. I can relax in the rebuild. I can trust that God knows what He’s doing even when I don’t feel that I do. When the train goes into the tunnel and everything gets dark, I can trust that the Conductor is taking me somewhere good. I can rest assured.
