Waiting For Help

"But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.”

PSALM 11:4

The Lord will take you all the way. Faith and patience are the lesson from our heavenly father. In learning to understand that the Lord will never leave you is in taking you all the way to the brink of your typical hysteria before his solution is revealed. Taking you to the brink is where patience and faith are strengthened. 

God took Abraham to the brink - Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his son. The knife was almost to his throat - and God's love as Abrahams father and helper were revealed as it will for all those trusting in God on a faith walk. God did not want Abraham to sacrifice Isaac - Isaac was also a child of a promise. It was a faith building experience for Abraham - and God showed up on his faith building schedule and it increased the faith of both Abraham and Isaac.

The Lord himself is your advocate - your helper. No person can penetrate this relationship. The way God says it is - it is. Trust him. The Lord is a constant flow of love and hope. There is no thing he cannot do or change to work his loving will into your life.
