GOD HAS GOT THIS

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

ARE YOU SEEKING?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

GOD has got “this”…(and Lord knows we ALL have a “THIS”…)

And GOD has got it.

Don’t think so? Think again.

Think that GOD isn’t fully invested in you?

Think again.

Matthew tells us that GOD has got every hair on our head numbered, so wouldn’t it be safe to say that our GOD who is concerned with the trivial things in our lives (hair), would surely have an intimate interest and perspective on the challenges in our lives?

He does.

I shared part of Psalm 121 yesterday, I want us to read further today. Remember we read that our help in times of trial comes from the Lord.

Psalm 121

¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the Lord,

But today, I want us to be reassured that this help is SPECIFIC; it is PERSONAL.

What do I mean?

We have a FATHER who knows us so intimately, a FATHER who knows ours every feature and detail down to the last strand of hair, a FATHER who with a mere request will put the rest of the world on pause and attend to the one written on the palm of His hand (YOU) (Isaiah 49:16 - See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;) therefore we can be sure that He has always “GOT THIS”; whatever “THIS” is in our lives.

But don't stop, read on from Psalm 121 and these assurances of GOD just keep coming.

³He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber

He doesn’t rest when it comes to us. He is on watch day and night, night and day, protecting us and guiding us.

Continue on…

The Lordwatches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm —
he will watch over your life;
⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Don’t you see?

God promises to keep His children, which means that He will defend us, give us what we need, grow us into His likeness, and guard us from evil.

I know that sometimes life dishes out way more than we think we can handle. It backs us into a corner and makes us feel inadequate and alone.

But CLING to the promises from this Psalm!

GOD HAS GOT THIS!

Therefore we can face the unknowns and difficult times with confidence, knowing that the Lord will keep us, shield us, defend us, help us and watch over us.

Have a blessed day.

I love you all.
