Sparrows, Hairs and Rejoicing
Weekend Jan 14/15
Greetings from Me and My House,
I have nothing profound on my mind this weekend, just an awe of God and a joy in my salvation. I don't usually send posts of just "my life", but perhaps someone will find the comfort and peace of our Lord in this.
I have spent time in the Word. I have spent many opportunities in prayer. Even though I didn't join our son-in-law and daughter in their (and their church's) week of seeking prayer and fasting, I have spent much time this week thinking of this and praying for them. I have a new grandson to praise God for and rejoice over. My 3 grandgirls (and their parents) are coming again to visit - well, to see the new baby more than us, but that is perfectly OK.
Though this week had much to rejoice over, there was also much to bring worry. The need to purchase a new dryer - and then it quitting after 4 loads. The car that overheated, preventing my husband and sons from attending his uncle's funeral - and now the probable need to purchase another car. The financial "problem" our 14 year old daughter got herself into. I started to toss and turn as I thought of these things, but gave them over to the Lord, realizing that there isn't a thing I can do about any of them.
Instead I just focused on the fact that: "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. " (Mat. 10:29-31) My Father is in control. Nothing is happening that is taking Him by surprise. There is nothing that He can't do anything about. He loves me. He takes care of me. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
Though I can't see how He will take us through all this, I know that He is faithful and will. He has brought me through the dark valley. He is with me and I have no fear.
And just to add "icing" to His "cake" of goodness to me, today I heard a message on wisdom, my (hopeful) topic of my posts this week. God is GREAT! All the time. No matter what. As my 6 year old quotes, "Because he loves me and takes care of me." "I will fear no evil."
Hope you had a blessed Lord's Day! I did.
At Jesus' feet,
