As I think about what to write for this week’s blog (I know it’s a couple days late, sorry!), I’m asking the Lord for inspiration. As I ponder what transpired last week, the message I keep receiving is that it is the Lord Who sustains me. It is Him Who keeps me going in my life. It is not I, but Him Who makes things work out for for the best in my life. Who am I, but a piece of clay, being molded and shaped to be the person He wants me to be. Like a Potter’s Hand, it is His Hand that sustains me, that keeps me up, that keeps me from falling, that shapes me into how He wants me to be shaped … when I fall, He lifts me up, when I am weak, He is strong, when something bad happens, He turns it into something good, when things seem to be going bad and ugly, He makes all things beautiful in His perfect time … His love sustains me.
“But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One Who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from His holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me”
Psalm 3:3-5
May God be praised.
