Constantly Surrounded
“The
LORD’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Rejoice in the LORD
and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!” Psalm
32:10-11
God
controls and allows every detail of our lives. Nothing happens without His
knowledge and approval. Every day, little changes in schedule or small
irritations occur. Everyday, we can choose to let
these obstacles upset us, or we can rest in the knowledge that God lovingly
ordained them as small irritants to help us look to and rely on Him. For
example, we can grumble about the frustrating traffic jam that is keeping us
from getting somewhere on time, or we can remember that God knows about our
deadlines and view the time sitting in traffic as an opportunity to pray. We
can complain, or we can rejoice. May we allow the knowledge that we are
continually surrounded by God’s unfailing love to permeate our lives and chase
away our complaints and fears.
John 1:35 - 2:12
1. When Jesus calls - how do you respond?
2. When Jesus works - how do you respond?
3. When Jesus rebukes - how do you respond?
