I took a break today from the Genesis story—As I sought the Lord in the Psalms, this message screamed out–yet again. God wants his kids to be content. Not haughty, not proud—simply in step with him. We must surrender to the idea that HE will provide and HE will protect. The idea of a child snuggled in its Momma’s arms—no worries or cares. It is almost too much to understand or believe, but, God does have us safe in his arms and has plans for our journey. When we lose sight of his consistent faithfulness, we tend to want to run from him and take care of ourselves. The harder we work, the more obvious becomes the folly of our “Helping God out.” We need to seek, follow and rest in him. He then will provide, protect and propel us into the relationship we have always longed for. Help me, Lord to snuggle into your safe and sustaining arms.
God Bless You
My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord
both now and forevermore.
