It’s been a week where the world has not only edged, but also cut deep into, the lives of cherished hearts. Satan was the sole perpetrator. God is the soul perseverance.
Week before last, God crossed my path with a landscaper and his lawn edger/cane. This human’s silhouette contrasted worldly entitlement, laziness and complaining. This week, when lives intertwined with mine, surmounted life and death battles, heavenly light more deeply (and personally) illuminated the reflection of this landscaper’s message.
When seemingly crippled by the diseased and deadly devil of this world, deliverance both on earth and into heaven is ours only by clinging to God. His power alone can uphold and heal the landscape of our broken beings.
Man is weak, but God is strong. Man gives way to leaning, but God never teeters under the weight of carrying man’s burdens. God promises “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Isaiah 46:4 (NIV)
God is the answer to all our needs. The question is are we leaning on, and into, Him?
