These 3 chapters have been very difficult for me to wrap my brain around. Too many difficult and similar names. Ugh. Between online classes and planning a special event this weekend, my brain is on autopilot.
What I do see here is that God protects and he keeps his promises to his people.
I can't even imagine how many times God has protected me when I really didn't even know. I think of that corny song (yes, not a big fan) by Garth Brooks, Unanswered Prayers. I do appreciate it's message. So many times I have wanted something sooooooooooooooooooooooo badly and didn't get it. I was disappointed and confused. I am sure there was a little anger thrown in there as well. I would beg and plead with God and frankly turn away from Him in hopes of securing on my own.
The beautiful truth is that God intended for me NOT to have that thing I desperately wanted, get that praise I felt I deserved to have, be chosen for that team to work on that project that was innovative...I praise him for the few times that he reveals his protection for me. But that brings me to right here right now wondering how many times he has done this and not revealed it to me.
Lord, thank you for always keeping your promises to me. Thank you for loving me so much and knowing exactly what I need. Your wisdom is more than I can fathom and your power and glory has me in awe. You are worthy of my praise through all that I face, good and bad. Lord help me to hold on to those promises when I am doubting you Father. Thank you for your protection and provisions in times that seemed bleak with no possible answers. Father I am claiming your power over so many of these situations right now and I am giving you full control. Thank you God for having power over it all. -Amen
