I’ve Got You!
A bit of wisdom from none other than Elisabeth Elliot. I would LOVE to sit and have coffee with her. She walks with such wisdom. If you haven’t read her book Passion and Purity I highly recommend it. She is just honest about life and her heart. It’s great!! Anyways, read on…
“… the heart set to do the Father’s will need never fear defeat. His promises of guidance may be fully encountered upon. Does it make sense to believe that the Shepherd would care less about getting His sheep where He wants them to go than they care about getting there?”
PSALM 32: 8-11 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who TRUSTS him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing all you who are upright in heart!”
Thank God today for His unfailing love and His hand on your life. Don’t miss the opportunity to see HIS goodness in your life today. He’s got you. Rejoice in that! Trust in that! Even as I write this encouragement to you God is encouraging me. The song ‘Trust’ by Kristene Mueller just came on my ITunes. Here is what she says…
“it’s the sweetest thing, to trust you. Just to know You’ve got everything under control. You are making me a mountain that cannot be shaken… You say, Ive got you my baby oh Ive got you. It’s quite the mess you’re in but it’s nothing love can’t fix. So sit here upon my shoulders and watch as it all unwinds. ”
God really does have us. I need to be reminded of that myself. Sometimes life takes over and I get caught up. But reality and truth says that we are bound by God’s unfailing love. What it would look like if we actually walked in that truth.
Father, take us outside of ourselves. You long to show us so much more than what we experience. We get tripped up in our circumstances and then we miss what is around us. May we walk in trust and love so that we don’t miss everything you have in store for us. Turns us into unshakable mountains that we can be used mightily for YOUR GLORY. God I want to enjoy you today. Take me past myself so that I can enjoy YOUR sweetness. You long to give us more than we can ask for or imagine. Help us to walk past our small moments so that we can see the unimaginable. I love you Daddy. You are so good to us. AMEN.
