I woke this
morning with a heavy heart. I was
concerned for my children even though they are adults. I want to be sure my children walk with God. So, I was praying and asking God for
wisdom. I was sitting in MY chair and
listening to the Bible. When God
whispered, “Rest. Just sit back and let
ME care for them.”
Sometimes in the Bible, God had the people
fight their battle. At other times, God
said, “This is not your battle, this is my battle.”
Today God
whispered, “Elaine, this is not your problem.”
I felt such peace knowing that my God, who loves me, also loves
them. He reminded me that while they
were home, I tried to make sure they knew God.
Now, my job is to rest and trust God and them to live as God would
want.
That’s
hard! I like to see the evidence and my
children tend to be private. I only get
snippets of conversation, and it’s like seeing one piece of a puzzle. It may help, but you can’t base all your knowledge
on that piece.
God gave me
peace that my children were right where he wanted them. He said, “Stop worrying and rest. You have not labored in vain.”
Perhaps
today, you are struggling. God wants you
to Sit, Back, Relax, Just Chill. God
wants to fight your battle for you also.
He wants you to stand and watch him fight for you.
Sometimes, if you are like me, I am so tired I need God
to fight for me because I feel so weak and helpless like I could not fight a
mouse and win. On those days, I praise
God that he says he will fight for me because the enemy is too strong for me……
But he is not too strong for God.
