Don't Worry, God Has Your Hand

There’s a story about a man who wanted to cross a frozen lake. Every few feet he tapped the ice to make sure it was strong enough to hold him.

Hours later, face  blue and knuckles red, he neared the shore. Suddenly,  twelve Clydesdale horses pulling a heavy wagon passed him,  leaving the man thinking how foolish he had been.

Are we like that foolish man when it comes to trusting the Lord?  We  tap, tap, tap and say, “I wonder if I will make it.”

With another tap, tap, tap, we say, “I wonder if the Lord knows what kind of a mess I’m in?”

We take another step,  tap, tap, tap, and think, “I wonder if the Lord is going to keep working in my life? I know what he did back there, but I wonder if He will do it today?” \

Do we tap, tap, tap when all the while the Lord is standing with us, as faithful as our shadow, saying, “Trust me? Don’t worry about whether or not the ice will hold you because I have your hand; I’ve planned the path you take and I will never let you go.”

Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
