Health care. Joblessness. Finances. Wayward children. Unsaved family. Persecution and misunderstanding. Ice on the driveway. There are plenty of worries to keep us awake at night and biting our nails during the day. Does God see? Does He care? Do I have to handle this myself?
The questions rattle our brains and hearts.
God speaks to us in these days through Isaiah, his faithful prophet: Say to those who have an anxious heart, "Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God . . . will come and save you." (35:4)
Beautiful, isn't it?
So I say to you today, be strong and fear not! I don't know how, or when, or through whom, but I do know that your God will come and save you. That is His promise. He has not left you orphaned. You are His child if you call Him Lord and Master, and He will care for you more than a mother cares for her own child.
Let your nails grow . . . and get some sleep. He has you covered.
Awesome post. Thanks for the reminder of God's faithfulness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for yet another reminder of the fact that God sees, He knows, and He cares for me. I need those constant reminders that His everlasting arms are under me so I don't need to "bite my nails."
