The day in between

I wonder sometimes what they must have felt that day in between. Those that were closest to Him had watched what He went through. They had watched Him hang on a cross, be beaten, and endure so much. They knew what He had promised, but I'm sure there physical self was mourning the One they loved that had left them. As someone who has lost someone close, I get that. I get that they were sad, but I also have to think somewhere deep inside of them they knew what He had promised. It was a day in between and most were probably just silent, still trying to process what all Friday had entailed. They were still trying to wrap their brains around what they had witnessed. I imagine there may have been some analyzing and what if's going on as well as some venting ;-)

The day in between was the bridge to victory. It was the middle to their sandwich so to speak of what the enemy thought He had done and what God was going to do. So many times we let the day in between defeat us. We spend the time that we should just be silent trying to figure out what God is doing. The day in between is when the promises have to be louder than the reasons. The day in between may seem like the enemy won, but hold on to the promise that God is not finished. God doesn't want us to lose faith on that day in between. 

It may look like the enemy has won on the day in between, but don't lose heart, God is not finished. He may seem silent, but He is working it out on your behalf. Don't lose hope, His promises are true and they will not fail! 

**I use "day" as a figurative and relative term. The day in between may be more than just a day. Hear me though sweet reader. God is working it out on your behalf. Just becuase it seems like things are at a standstill and the enemy may "feel" like he won....He did NOT! Victory is just around the corner and God is going to do what only He can do.
