My son said something funny today that got me thinking. We were talking about some little collectible figures that he treasures. He mentioned that he had lost one of his favorites. I asked, “Lost, as in ‘it’s lost in your room somewhere or lost as in ‘you took it to the park and haven’t seen it since?'”
- Don’t fear; for I am with you; don’t be dismayed for I am Your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you . . . Isaiah 41:10
- . . . Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6
and especially this one:
- The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it. 1 Thes. 5:24.
He has called, He is faithful and He will do it! It’s not about me and what I can or can’t do. It’s about Him and what He will do. It might not be what I expect or what I want, but I know that His plans are the best. There’s that trust again! Better not lose that in the mess, again.
Those verses did a pretty good job of “spring cleaning” for me today. I can take a deep breath and remember to trust. It’s not all up to me.
Now, if I can just find that pesky toy in my son’s room.
My daughter’s room is the same way. She loses things in there all the time.
