He Keeps Us

By Wanda

numbers6.24

When I look at these flowers that beautifully array the side of the street near my neighbor’s yard, I’m reminded that some things don’t require my care, my hovering, nor my fixing.

There are no human hands that tends to these beautiful flowers.

Just as these flowers are lovingly care for and watched over, He keeps each of us.

May our fretting cease and relax in His care while obediently taking action when He tells us.

      There is really so much isn’t Kim. I’m often surprised at just how much stuff I overlook at times.

    Wanda, just the words of your post title washed over me today with comforting words of peace:

    He keeps us.

    Oh yes, we are always watched over and cared for – we are never out of His sight nor His heart – we are lovingly kept in the palm of His hand. Sigh…

    GOD BLESS!

      I know I needed the reminder that He is ever watchful and to keep these hands off of things he hasn’t asked me to be actively involved in.

    Amen! We need to cease and desist in our fretting. Let’s allow our faith to shine through the worrying. Faith, faith and more faith! And, we need to move when the Holy Spirit tells us to do so. It is really very simple, but we make things so complicated. Love this post!

      Yes us humans are good for complicating things.

      Alison the title of your post is intriguing. Can’t wait to when I have a moment to pop over for a visit.

    Ah, yes, Wanda. We do tend to forget who is taking care of us. And fretting never changes anything or anyone for the good.

      You’re right Pam. It changes nothing but still I find myself fretting. So much room for improvement

      Yes how much more! It’s it a truth I often loose focus on when I’m in the heat of the battle but I’m grateful that He comes along reminds me through my natural environment.

    I’m hurting so much and trying so hard to remember this, but I’m not feeling it. Things look very bleak and I just can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I know it’s there and I know he can do the miracle I asked for. But it seems more and more impossible each day, and now there is another person trying to take it away from me. I just have no strength left.

    • Wanda says

      22 October, 2013 at 11:34 am

      Elizabeth, although our situations may be different. I do understand how difficult it can be to fight off despair or hopelessness. Of course I have no easy solutions but I’ll pass along the words of whisper I received when asking (ok more like complaining) to God about a certain situation. I heard lean in. Lean into Him more and more. It’s precisely at these moments that we need to keep His promises ever before our eyes and on our lips. Praying that you will be strengthen my friend.
