There is a verse in the Bible that tells us to "fix" our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) When something is "fixed", it is "set". It does not look to the right or the left. It has focus.
That is what I am trying to do right now.
I am succeeding part of the time, and failing miserably at other times.
I am also remembering Matthew 11:28 "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest".
I'm claiming it.
I'm looking to Jesus for my safety, my protection, my rest.
Are you burdened?
Are your trials heavy and you feel you can't see beyond them?
God sees! God hears the cries of your heart!
He tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:9 that now we see in part, our knowledge is incomplete. Someday, we will see in full! Someday, we will know the "whys" and we will see how it all fits together.
God has been reminding me of these verses because I too easily "forget"!!
He wants me to trust in His Word, and not live my what I feel! Feelings are not necessarily truth.
God can be trusted. He loves us and knows us by name!
This world is not our eternal home!
He has overcome the "world". There is VICTORY in Jesus!
The sun will shine tomorrow.
But the rain................oh the rain..........is God's provision! His hand to provide: all life needs water. He provides!
Rest, my dear friend, rest in knowing that when we fix our eyes on Jesus, and take it all, laying it at the feet of our Savior, we can trust Him.
We can trust Him!
Sleep well, sleep well!
Love,
Pam
