Some days, we just need a reminder, that God is intimately involved in all that concerns us. Maybe we've been praying for something and still don't see the answer. Maybe a door closed that we were really hoping would open. Maybe we're battling discouragement and defeat, or we're burdened for the lives of those we love...
He knows.
He cares.
And I was reminded this morning that His reach is huge. Nothing, absolutely nothing is too difficult for Him.
Sometimes we can't see how. Often we can't see when. And it's usually right in the moments that we think, “There's no way,” that God reaches in by His strong and mighty arm. That He shields and holds us, safely in His hands.
Through the Bible, we find verses that speak of His Mighty arm, or His right hand. These speak directly to the power of God, to His authority, His Sovereignty over our lives and in this world. And in the same ways He worked throughout Scripture, He works still today.
Protecting.
Covering.
Delivering.
Rescuing.
Helping.
Supporting.
Caring.
Loving.
Strengthening.
Saving.
Don't ever doubt, He knows your way and has a plan...
