Reflecting

This morning I was sewing. The house is quiet and as  I was praying for the needs that are now in my life, some of them very important needs, like people needing healing and jobs and comfort. Big things. I start to panic sometimes so as I was trying to regain my footing, I was looking at the course of my life and the answers and miracles God was always faithful to provide.
So I thought about those roads, that God would bring me to and I would want the easy one, with no rocks or steep paths. He would take my hand and gently lead me to the one that was hard, steep, and long. As I would start down the path He had led me to,  He would say, " I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."  I would nod and go on. Then at other times,
I would be so afraid, I couldn't take my hands off of my eyes, I was afraid of what I might see. As He took my hands off of my face, He would remind me, " When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;"

When I was so afraid that I knew that I could not take a single step forward. When I knew the path I was on would finish me off and I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, there would come the small, tiny light for the next step, and so quietly, would come the voice, " Will you trust me?"

Yes, I can look back at the places in my life, where God was always bigger than all of my problems, when I thought maybe He didn't hear my prayers, or that maybe I wasn't His or be so filled with fear and doubt that maybe this time I would fall.
But always He has been right on time, provided the best answer and never left me or forsook me. He has always been good.
I am glad that He is God and I am not.
So while I wait, I know that His answers will come, I know that His way is always perfect and I know He is there. Just like Spring, it just shows up.
Thanks for stopping by today,
