Yesterday a situation arose that
was pressing in on me. I felt the
heaviness in an area that is really difficult for me and was not dealing with
it well. I have intentionally
practiced faith and I believe that God means what He says, but was feeling the
treadmarks of this thing running over me.
God had a rather humorous gift
for me when I arrived home.
Someone had left a set of sheets in our mailbox. Certainly untypical. The fabric was really soft. The pattern was white background with
little squares of gray and black sprinkled like confetti all over it. The message was clear in the face of
this exact day: He covers me above
and below. He is a soft place for
me to land. He is the background
of all the landscape I will ever walk. When all the challenges of life come, He is always the wider,
bigger truth. I can rest
there.
I don’t know how this situation
will resolve, but I was more than aware that God is not absent from the
equation, that He is not blind to the need or to my struggle in it. He sees and has gone before me. He is over me as protection and under
me as support. I am safely wrapped
in the security of His provision.
You are too.
