Good morning beloved friends
Imagine this God
Who supplies every single need we have, whether it be an emotional, a physical or a mental need. He can make us whole, bind up our wounds, heal our broken heartedness and complete us. It takes time though, rest in him and be assured of the goodness of the Father's heart.
He knows us through and through, just run to him for whatever you may need, he is waiting with open arms
One of my favourite pictures is shown below
The title of this picture is PEACE by Jack E Dawson, this picture may look nothing like peace but if you look closely nestled in the hillside is a bird and her little ones.
This is what we have in God.
The storm may blow, the rains may come, the terrain may be rough but yet God made a way to cover and protect that "family"
He will do the same for you too
I pray God will really give us the peace we need in the midst of each of life's storms - those external and internal ones.
Here are some more verses about God’s watchful care of us.
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler.
Exegesis:
The psalmist compares the Lord's protection of those who trust in him to the protection a mother eagle gives her chicks. This is depicted as the mother spreading the feathers of her wings over them. Similarly, the Lord covers us with His wings.
This verse also emphasizes the Lord's faithfulness to those who trust in Him. The word "shield" refers to a larger item which covers much of a soldier's body.
Psalm 23:1–4,6
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me ... Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (NIV)
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their [b]wounds
Isaiah 61 states
Instead of the ashes of mourning, He gives His people beauty. Instead of the mourning itself, He gives His people the oil of joy. Instead of the spirit of heaviness, He gives His people the garment of praise.
I hope these verses will be a reminder of God’s providential care for you - remember he is a Faithful Father, who takes care of his own.
I pray God will fill and heal you today, may he comfort you in those deep places and heal every single wound.
Don't be ashamed of any of the needs you may have, God will take care of every single need you have.
It is only pride sometimes that makes us put on a face of bravado
