My sweet Sadie is playing a new game on her tablet where she connects colors dots on a grid. They can’t overlap so she is really having to think ahead to figure out the right path for each color to connect in a continuous line. Well, tonight she found the help button (by accident) that will give her a clue to one of the color patterns if she is stumped. She was so excited to be able to “get help” that she was pushing it every time and saying “oh thank you mr. helper”. It was pretty stinking adorable but I immediately chimed in and said “baby we don’t ask for help unless we’ve absolutely tried our very best”. Now, it is obviously very important to teach independent skills and working hard. I was raised this way and I believe it is truly important so I am not knocking that at all. But it got me thinking about bigger things, bigger God things. I wish I was so eager to push the “help” button when things are out of my control. I am quick to quote Psalms 121:2 “my help comes from the Lord” but it’s usually after I’ve tried to work it out myself. Anybody else? How often do we get caught up on facts and earthy feelings and forget that We can literally just call out the name of Jesus! We don’t have to figure it out and present it to Him in a neat package before we ask for help. We don’t have to try OUR best, we just have to rely on Him. How amazing that He, creator of the universe, can be our first call?
He directs our paths.
He knows what’s ahead.
He knows roadblocks.
He knows heartache.
This world is in a scary place right now and we are all well equipped with our opinions of what is right and wrong. But y’all, God knows this. God isn’t shaken or surprised by any of it. He knows every detail of what is and what’s to come. We are all facing different circumstances during these trying times but we can all bank on ONE thing. ❤️God.is.with.us.❤️
He knows the end game and y’all, HE WINS.
So I truly pray that as this season of uncertainty continues we are all pressing our fears and doubts into Him because He is the Almighty Helper!
