When the world pushes me to the wall
I will hold tight on You O Lord
When life slaps ever so hard
I will lift my hurting cheeks to You
When my faith’s scared and scarred
I will nurse it to wholeness in Your Word
When hope is stolen and uncertainties stare
I will fix my gaze upon Your face.
It is not about events, past or present
My choice is made, my heart is set
Come what may, You O Lord remains
My peace and glory, my shelter and comforter
Yes, My ever present help and friend!
Why worry, when God is on my side?

My brother and I were sharing today of how he was dealing with the bones in his plate – he said he just looks at them and laughs and I couldn’t help laughing. What else do you want to do when you have done all you can and the bones have neither been moved nor crushed? How long can you whine and wail? To what good? The typical response would be to worry and wonder how on earth to get rid of those. Unfortunately, worry has never been known to crack a bone so why worry?

I don’t know how many bones are lining your plates today and how far you have gone in crushing each. After you have done all that you know, trust God’s faithfulness and wait on the formula He alone can provide. Whatever you do today and for the rest of the year, don’t worry, God is watching and working it all together for good! Blessings.

Glory!
