Your
little creature has been singing to me since before the sun came up – momma red
bird is flitting around the patio, trying to get into the sitting room. Mostly, her antics are reminding me of
how You care even for little sparrows – not one of them falls to the ground without Your knowledge. Do you care less for me? Even the hairs of my head are numbered. Such intimacy of detail lets me know that You, indeed, know me and love me. You do know my thoughts - all of them - the good, the bad, the ugly. You know when I rise up and when I
lie down. This is too magnificent
for me to comprehend. So I won’t
try. I’ll just enjoy what I know
of You and long to know You more.
It's really true – what I read in JESUS CALLING for today – “problems are
perspective lifters” - a ladder allowing me to climb up and see my life from Your
perspective. The obstacle that loomed so large just moments ago becomes as Your word says, ‘a light and momentary trouble.’
Better still, up
here on Your shoulders, I can look away from the problem and feel Your power
beneath me. Like a child on the
shoulders of her daddy, I am raised up to be more than I can be. All I had to do was stretch out my arms - You did the lifting.
