" I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip-He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed He who watches over Israel will neither slumber or sleep. The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord will keep you from all harm-He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever more." Psalm 121 (NIV)
You know as I read these words I find great comfort. The very God who put this world into existence watches over me. When my children were small I remember the fear of loosing one or both of them in sickness or an accident. Fear can consume us if we let it.
As time and circumstances took our family through the trials of life I came to realize just how awesome my God really is! I can honestly say I am thankful for the fiery trials I've seen in this life, because in those times Jesus held my family and me close to His breast. Those are the times He let me know what an awesome, personal Savior I have who cares for me and my family more than any human ever could.
I'd really rather have Jesus more than anything this world could ever offer. I'd rather go through the fiery furnace of trials with Jesus; than to have never have felt His tender embrace and had a "perfect life with earthly wealth." Do you know the peace that only Jesus gives?
