When God Says Stay: Exchanging Grief for Joy

By Shelly Divido

There are three different responses we hear from the Lord as we walk with Him through this journey of life; wait, stay and go. The most common responses that we look for when we pray are when to wait and when to go, but probably the most important part of the process, and the one we fight the most, is when God says stay. When God says stay, He invites us to embrace the transition, the place between grieving and joy. The place between waiting on the Lord and running with Him. It's easy to sing all the songs that proclaim, "Where you go I'll go and where you stay I'll stay; until God asks you to stay where you really don't want to. It's in the staying that we actively move from waiting in the wilderness to living a life full of purpose and abundance. It's in the staying that we allow the Lord to heal the grief we've carried through the wilderness and allow His power to turn our mourning into dancing. WHEN GOD SAYS STAY is a twenty one day devotional that walks us through sitting with grief so we can experience the fullness of joy in God's presence.
