The days are getting shorter… Fall is drawing near! I love
Fall… the trees changing colors, the cooler temps, sunny days with cool nights.
Last year, the autumn season was a very tough time for me… turmoil &
anxiety invaded my life… it was a horrible, struggling time for me. A time I do
not want to revisit! Trying to prepare my heart against any of the discouraging
darts of the enemy with this next season just around the corner.
Looking to Psalm 139, the whole chapter… it's an incredible “word
picture”. Verse 10 is a verse of peace for me…“Even there Your hand shall
lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” This verse brings to mind the lyrics to this song by 33 Miles:
I know it seems like this could be
The darkest day you've known
But believe you me
The God of strength will never let you go
He will overcome, I know
Through many dangers, toils and snares
You have already come
His grace has brought you safe this far
His grace will lead you home
And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He's in control
He will never let you go
You have already come
His grace has brought you safe this far
His grace will lead you home
And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He's in control
He will never let you go
It is a great reminder that no
matter what you may be going through our Heavenly Father is here to lead you
and hold you. As followers of Christ we are never left alone to deal with
the turmoil of this world. I can picture God holding me up with His right
hand while pointing me to the path He has planned for me with His other.
Trusting and resting that He is in control… giving it all up to You,
Lord. What peace that puts deep down in my soul!!!
Could you use some peace today? Go ahead, read and meditate on Psalms 139 and see what Holy Spirit will show you to give you comfort in whatever circumstance you may be going through.

“Even though I walk into the middle of
trouble, You guard my life against the anger of my enemies. You stretch out
Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.” ~ Psalms 138:7
God’s hands will never fail
you… not ever!
To Him who is able
to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence
without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty,
power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and
forevermore! Amen. ~ (Jude 24-25)
Rejoicing in Truth!
