Today I'm anxiously waiting for news.
It's rather important news that will affect me and my family. The
temptation to fear and worry is great! I am constantly reminding
myself today that nothing takes God by surprise and that His plans are
better than my own. I am trying to rest in Him as I wait.
It isn't a one-time decision, though. The worry keeps creeping in
and I have to consciously choose to pray and put it back in His hands
again. His very large and capable hands.
My children sing a chorus from Steve Green's Hide 'Em In Your Heart
series ... "When I am afraid I will trust in Him, I will trust in Him,
I will trust in Him. When I am afraid I will trust in Him.
In God whose Word I praise. In Him I trust. I will not be
afraid. In Him I trust. I ... forgot the rest of the
song." It's Psalm 56:3-4, though. And I'm humming it to
myself today when the worry creeps back in.
"When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me?"
Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV)
