He guards the paths of justice, and protects the way of His kedoshim. [His saints — us.] Proverbs 2:8, TLV
Why Me? Our journey is fraught with challenges — some of our making, others intended to harm us. We will either draw closer to our Heavenly Father, or question Him and His goodness. We can choose His path or our own.
Why is This Happening to Me?
When bad things happen to me, unfortunately, my default reaction is to question GOD’s love for me—I feel a sense of betrayal. I mean, in the trillions of details He oversees, how easy would it be to overlook little old me?
But I have calmed and quieted my soul— like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. Psalm 131:2
When that happens, like a weaned child, I calm and quiet my soul, and intentionally pause and remember. Remember all that He has done for me. Remember His Word. Remember that He has already seen this moment in time and has already seen the outcome.
And, when I do that, it puts me in a place of gratitude — and that’s a good place to be.
Messy Life
Life is messy and out of our control. But our Father does indeed
guard the paths of justice and protects the way of His saints — His kids.
If we’re in the midst of a trial, it’s important to remember that victory comes after the battle — not before the fight. And miracles wrought in the midst of bitter battle are the sweetest.
Think More About It
How do we calm and quiet our soul to remember? How do we find our place of gratitude?
