“ In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us Selah.” Psalm 62:7-8 (NKJV)

I sat stunned as someone dear shared things happening within the lives of those whom I love. My heart broke as I listened to details. I asked the age-old question: “Why didn’t you tell me?” And, of course, received the age-old answer: “I didn’t want you to worry.”

I not only wanted to lash out at those involved, but also wanted to confront and threaten, so I devised plans to carry out the next day. As I lay in bed pondering what would be the end results, I was overwhelmed that some could be so sweet around me and another way somewhere else! My trust was betrayed, my emotions torn, and there was only one desire: fix this!

Suddenly it was as though I could hear God saying, “Do not carry out your plans, you will get in My way. I can handle this.” In the flesh, that was so unsatisfactory! I had a choice: either let God do it (the right way) or do it myself, and He would let me make a bigger mess. He is the only One who is truly trustworthy, so I could choose to let Him to take care of this. I couldn’t fix the problems, but I could give them to the Master! Have my problems gone away? Not yet, but I am trusting Him to do what is right!

“Father, it hurts so badly knowing some we love are making wrong choices! Please give all of us who are going through issues we can’t fix the strength to endure, the wisdom to give them to You, and the ability to choose to leave them at the foot of the Cross. Thank You for that Cross, Lord!”

For His Glory
