The Raging Storms of life…

I have to admit I have had a rough couple of days… I have discovered some information that has me bewildered to say the least. I also realize that because of this one of my very personal dreams may be shattered right before my eyes and I will have to start all over again.

This has nothing to do with a relationship or even another person, but it does have to do with my livelihood. Right now I am struggling for answers to my questions and I don’t know what path to take. All I can do is put my trust in the Living God from Whom my help comes from. He is my Source and Strength. Without Him I would be completely lost. Knowing this fact, helps me to move forward and to pursue peace… even when the storm rages all around me, I must determine to have peace.

I know that this too shall pass but in the meantime, I must pray, trust and believe in the Lord Jesus. This is just another part of my life journey and I take each step with God as my Guide.  He has not failed me yet and He won’t fail you either! If you are in a storm… quietly trust in God. Even the winds and waves have to obey Him!

God’s eye IS on the Sparrow… AND YOU!

Have you ever heard the song God’s Eye is on the Sparrow? Its a beautiful song about how we don’t have to be discouraged because God’s eye is on the Sparrow and we should know He watches us…  In the bible the Sparrow is mentioned numerous times. So just for kicks, I decided to research the significance of the sparrow, just to see why the bible would use that bird as an example in so many illustrations… In my research, I discovered the sparrow is simply a small, cute, bird that eat seeds and sings sweetly. There is nothing particularly significant about them… which made me realize the point!

The sparrow is just a bird… but the bible indicates that we are worth more than many Sparrows to the Lord.  So if His eye is on the little bitty Sparrow, then you can know without a doubt that HE watches you. He loves you.  He is going to take care of you!

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. – Matthew 10-29-30  (Have you ever seen a dead sparrow? I haven’t. I think God catches those little birds where their life-span is over, and puts them right up in heaven with the angels!)

God’s eye is on the Sparrow and us too. Have faith. Be blessed, and fear not.
