"Thou hast also
given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me
up,
and thy
gentleness hath made me great!" ~Psalm 18:35
Hi there
everyone!
I'm grateful
for this post to share - hope it "lifts" you up as it did me!
;o)
This is a
"from the archives" post that I wanted to re-share from YEARS ago in
hopes that God will use it to bless you as it blessed me to re-read it! I love
it when I look back to something God gave me to write and it applies so well
still! I think we've all had or maybe are currently having a day that you
just need held and so I hope that this post encourages you!
"I thought I'd start off this post by
quoting something my sister said to me one day. The quote describes my
day perfectly. "Some days I
go through life holding God's hand - other days I need carried in His
arms...but it's always fun to be carried!" :O) Isn't that just so
true?!
I was thoughtful
today, fighting discouragement and worn-out. It was one of those days
that you don't know whether to laugh or cry, so you just do both! lol. I
was driving down the road this evening thinking about the day and was so
grateful that I have a heavenly Father Who is bigger than my life
"things" and loves to work marvelously on my behalf! I
don't know what I'd do without Him - how does anyone live or face tomorrow
without His confidence to claim? I
love the fact that He is ALL-KNOWING and ALL-POWERFUL and nothing is out of His
control! He knew all the details of my day and He went before
me. He is working in His miraculous ways always! He's so wonderful
that even when I don't understand how He is working - He gently asks me to
trust Him and then holds me and carries me along the way. What an
incredible Father!
The picture above
is actually me and my Dad! :O) I love him so much! I love the way a
Father knows just when his little girl is getting worn out and picks her up to
give her a rest or even when he just surprises her by swinging her up onto
his shoulders just to see her smile and give her a better view! That, my friend, is what your heavenly Father
loves to do for me and for you! I was so encouraged by that
truth today and also by the verses below - hope you are too!
~Psalm 63:1-8~
"O God, Thou
art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee,
my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry
and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To
see Thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because
Thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.
4 Thus
will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name.
5 My
soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee
with joyful lips:
6 When
I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches.
7 Because Thou
hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My
soul followeth hard after Thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me."
Blessings to each
one of you today! Be encouraged and know the strong and gentle
arms of the One Who lives to hold you and loves to carry
you!" :)
