When I can’t see the next step...
I see your face.
When I can’t feel my way in the dark...
My hand is firm in your grip.
I don’t know...
but You do.
I can’t understand Your ways...
I wouldn’t understand if you told me.
I don’t have to know...
You do.
My world is in Your hands.
Your will is not in mine.
I close my mouth
I listen to the words that comes on your every breath.
I rest in peace
My Jesus holds my world in His hands.
He knows what He is doing.
I’ve never been more thankful.
As humans, we love to see others do the impossible. But as soon as the spotlight comes on us, our faith is weakened beyond belief and we are struck dumb. Anything that scares us or seems impossible can be done by anyone but ourselves. But what happens when you see someone complete what looked to be unthinkable.
One of the biggest hit shows of the last decade has been the Biggest Loser. Why is watching a bunch of overweight strangers workout and try to eat healthy while sneaking Twinkies in their room appealing? They are doing what the world says is "impossible". The end of the season becomes the biggest inspiration to the rest of the nation watching from the couch to do the impossible in our lives.
We can't do the impossible on our own strength. But we serve the God who majors in the impossible. Pick any story in the Bible and I prove my point. One of my favorite stories is God accomplishing the most impossible task to humans...Mary's pregnancy.
She couldn't see the future, she was living day by day on faith and seeking God's face.
Her world was dark and unsupportive around her, she held on to the grasp of God's faithfulness.
She didn't know what He was up to, but OH how well HE knew what He was doing!
She would have freaked out if God had told her what was going on! He knows best!
Her world was in His hands...the whole world laid in the hands of the One she was carrying.
She choose not to argue, but to dwell on the words of comfort from her Lord.
She rested in peace as she held her Jesus in her arms, knowing one day He would do the same for her.
I can say without a doubt she was thankful for that God knew what He was doing!
Whatever situation you are blinded to right now, rest in the one who sees not only what is going on, but understands the fears and concerns of your heart and wants to put them to rest in His peace.
