No, I am not referring to the 1981 smash hit by .38 Special. (Although, back in the day I was a fan!) I am referring more to the things in life that seem to drag us down. These "things" come in all shapes and sizes. They can be in the form of unpaid bills, family conflict, car trouble, marriage issues, job struggles, and the list goes on and on. Do you know what each of these issues have in common? God knew about each of them before they showed up in your life, He knows how they are impacting you and He cares about how they are affecting you. (Feeling better yet? No!?) Ok, see God has the hairs on your head numbered. He is VERY MUCH aware of what you need. (Prove it?) Matthew 6:25-34 culminates with these words: 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Go back and read the entire passage) The fact is, God wants His people so dependant on Him that we allow Him to make provision for us, for everything. But, remember, this is not a promise that He will deliver us from the storm, He will deliver us in the storm. He loves us so much... He came so that we could have (John 10:10) LIFE and LIFE TO THE FULL. Not just average, not just so-so, TO THE FULL. Trust Him, He is trustworthy. If you hold on loosely, it will be easier to let it go. Be Blessed today.
Waiting on Him,
ML
