“He led me to a place of safety; He rescued me because He delights in me.”
Do you believe God delights in you?
I don’t feel very delightful myself...at times... But the one thing I know is that He loves me, He delights in me and He has shared with me His thoughts and sweet songs sung over me many times. This I believe without any doubt!
Do you trust God to keep you safe?
I trust God! Usually..... To a point....
I want comfort. God desires holiness.
The two are not always going to be compatible. In fact, they rarely will be. I cringe at discomfort. I feel better when I am in my element and have—at least in my own opinion—some control of the situation. The element of risk is not popular with me.
I desire to be pressed, but I have a fear of the pressing.
God is not my safety net that I question to catch me should I fall. God is the support—the strength—that holds me up. Always! I am safe because He never leaves me.
He doesn’t doubt me. I doubt myself.
God sees within and within me is His Son. God will not fail me. His Son will not fail me. I will not fail as long as I keep my heart fixed on them.
So why do I fear the pressing?
Because deep down I fear that God will fail me. I fear that things will go His way and not mine. I fear what His way may be. I want God’s will. He sees that. He knows that. But I fear what that looks like. What it will take—cost—to get there!
What is the root to all this fear? That is the question I have to ask God so that I can repent, rebuke, receive, rejoice and walk renewed.
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:32
Are you walking free? What are your questions for God today?
