It’s been a relaxing vacation, that’s for sure. My favorite time is the quiet morning as the sun rises and the birds chirp. Last week at home I read in Psalm 100:3
“Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”
G. Campbell Morgan says an even better translation for the middle part is “It is He who has made us, and HIS WE ARE.” I love that. I spent some time writing this out and personalizing it for every person in my family. Each of us has lots going on. Big changes. Big challenges. Big frustrations. Big opportunities. Big decisions. I need God to speak. I need God to move. It is tempting to wonder if He will be as clear as I need Him to be. Or if I will be too distracted and worried to hear His voice. I want the best for my kids. I needed the reminder that God made each one of them specifically, personally and with great purpose. His they are!
So this week as I’ve prayed for them, spent extra time with them and watched them, I’ve said in my heart…..
The Lord placed me as wife and mom of this crew. It will be overwhelming, and I will flounder without the anchor of the truth that The Lord has made me and His I am. And with Him, I will be able to fulfill all the purposes and plans He has made me for—and the same goes for each of these faces I love. I can trust Him fully and completely for guidance and direction and wisdom from above. He is good and faithful. Amen.
