Perfect Timing

No pictures for this post. I just wanted to share something that reminded me of something I often find hard to grasp...God's loving care for me. Little ole me, in this great big world, in an even bigger universe. In the midst of chaos, HUGE problems in the world, unfathomable pain and suffering, God cares for me. And if I allow myself to be still long enough, I actually notice. So last night I was ready to call it a day and turn off my light when I caught a glimpse of a daily devotional a friend had given me. I thought I could use a little encouragement, so I opened it to that day's devotional and this is what it said...

Rest with Me a while. You have journeyed up a steep, rugged path in recent days. The way ahead is shrouded in uncertainty. Look neither behind you nor before you. Instead, focus your attention on Me, your constant companion. Trust that I will equip you fully for whatever awaits you on your journey.

I designed time to be a protection for you. You couldn't bear to see all your life at once. Though I am unlimited by time, it is in the present moment that I meet you. Refresh yourself in My company, breathing deep draughts of My presence. The highest level of trust is to enjoy Me moment by moment. I am with you, watching wherever you go. (Psalm 143:8, Genesis 28:15)

I checked the date 3 times because I couldn't believe how timely it was for my life. It was as if God placed it there just for me, on that day, and then urged me to open the book, because He knew. Hmmm. Maybe you will find encouragement in it also.
