“The Lord will
perfect that which concerns me; your love,
O Lord, endures
forever- do not abandon the work of your hands.”
Psalm 138:8 (KJV)
As we grow closer to the Lord, we find ourselves more at
peace with Him. He takes what worries us into his hands, reshapes the
particulars, and returns it to us in a way that honors Him and we can handle.
Sometimes, the outcome is not quite what we desired. Other times the outcome is
what God deems best for us.
When we give situations over to the Lord, we have a tendency
to take them back. We don’t get resolution of the problem, and we can make
ourselves sick over that issue that we took back.
When we lay our hurts and our problems into Jesus’ hands, we
communicate our trust in Him. In return,
we receive calmness about the issue. Our spirits are refreshed. We feel
strengthened. We can watch God work out the problem.
God may guide us through the issues—showing us what we need
to do to alleviate the problem.
He may change the mindset of the people involved and cause
the problem to go away. The decision belongs to Him. It is our job to trust in
Him.
That verse beneath your picture is one I've turned to a lot. And will often again, I'm sure. What a promise it is!
