You Are My Strong Tower!
Have you found yourself so busy with just coping, so focused on the next objective or the maybe the delinquent project, that you ignore everything else? Some mornings when I’m fighting traffic in the Washington, DC commute, I don’t even hear the radio. I’ll turn on the traffic station and completely miss the report of an accident on the road ahead. I become frustrated with myself and my anxiety increases. Satan has once again successfully blocked my blessing of enjoying time with my Father. Heavy traffic is insignificant in comparison to people who are truly hurting. We reflect GOD’s love for others when will help them slide back the dark blinds of pain and see that there is a strong tower that provides security from the pain and uncertainty that seems to consume them.
Currently there are two families that I have become acquainted with. Both are Christian believers, dedicated to serving the LORD. Both wives in these families are critically ill with cancer. Their lives in this world are uncertain to them and us, but not to GOD. While we pray for their healing, we can be sure that GOD will work these situations for good. His love, His will for our good, is praised in Psalms 136. In all things, GOD’s love never fails.
Lately, I have begun looking for GOD’s blessing in every situation. I have adopted Romans 8:28 as my daily theme verse, “And we know that for those who love GOD all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” This certainly is not GOD’s promise that trouble and pain will not make their way into our lives. It is His promise that, even in trouble and pain, He is in control and is molding the hearts of His people for our ultimate good. He is El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient One.
Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings
Psalm 61
In Him,
Dan
