Follow-Up: God is in Control!

Tonight, I began devotional time with the song, "Hold Me," by Jamie Grace and featuring TobyMac.

"Just when I think this crazy world is gonna bring me down, that's when Your smile comes around. Oooh, I love the way You hold me. By my side You'll always be. You take each and every day, make it special in some way. I love the way You hold me. In Your arms I'll always be. You take each and every day, make it special in some way. I love You more than the words that my brain can express. I can't imagine even loving You less. Lord, I love the way You hold me!"

Tonight's verses come from Deuteronomy 20:1 and 4.

v1: "When you go out against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, Who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you." (NIV)

v. 4: "For the Lord your God is the One Who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." (NIV)

I have very little commentary on this because Scripture speaks for itself. Maxwell says this: "And so God gives us the same word He gave to Moses: 'Do not be afraid.'"

God is with us! We have nothing to fear! Give all of your worries and fears to Him and leave them for Him to take care of.

"Where is your confidence?" asks Maxwell.

I leave you with this poem whose author is unknown (I think).

As children bring their broken toys, with tears, for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God, because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried, "How can You be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

God bless you!
