My
Future
Is
In
Your Hands.
Scripture
Psalm
31
7 I
will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,
for you have seen my troubles,
and you care about the anguish of my soul.
for you have seen my troubles,
and you care about the anguish of my soul.
Observation
I
don't know about you but there are some days when I just need to be
reassured that the Lord is going to take care of me. I sometimes need
to be reminded that the Lord is going to take care of my family.
Maybe
you have days like that too. Well if you do then Psalm 31 is a good
Psalm for both of us.
Another
thing that I have learned to do when worry and doubt starts creeping
into my life is to look back on how God has taken care of me and my
family in the past.
Here
is just one example:
When
Kathy and I moved out to Ft. Worth, Texas on January, 1976, we made
the move with only $250 in our pockets. God had called us to be
missionaries and we were moving to Texas to finish College and
Seminary in preparation of that call.
We
put our few belongings into a moving truck with our friend's (Hugh
and Millie Roberts) belongings. Hugh and Millie had rented the truck
to move their stuff and they were gracious enough to move us with
them. And behind their moving truck we towed our 1952 Chevrolet.
Upon
arriving in Ft. Worth Kathy and I rented a house, the rent was $150 a
month with a $100 deposit which left us with $0!
It
was in those days that God taught Kathy and I that we could and that
we must totally trust in Him.
I
look back on those times and I am amazed and I smile … it was God …
He took care of us then and He will take care of us now.
Our
future is always in his hands.
Philippians
4:6-7
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
Matthew
6
25 “That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have
enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more
than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look
at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns,
for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more
valuable to him than they are?
Application
I
will trust in the Lord. He loves me. He will take care of us.
How
about you? Will you trust Him to take care of you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, you are worthy to be praised. Because You are my Shepherd I
have everything I need. You are enough. Thank You for your Word.
Thank You for every promise that You have given us. I hold on tightly
to each one of them. I pray for any person reading this blog today
that is struggling and worrying about details in his or her life.
Show them that they can trust in You. Reassure them. Encourage them.
Increase their faith!
