True strength

You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” –Psalm 139:5-8

This time of the year, there seems to be so much to do, so many places to go, so many conversations, so many faces.

There are thoughts of plans for the new year, and recollections of the failures and successes in the last. Ups and downs. Twists and turns. Starts and stops.

And through it all, Jesus is right there. Right here.

Waiting. Dispensing strength. Loving me.

There is no where too far for the reach of His hands.

At the end of the day all I really want is to crawl my way back home and huddle in the safety of His arms.

That’s where I find my strength.

True strength.

The really great thing about His arms? There’s room enough for us all.

Psalm 139:14: "I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thou works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

Life is a marvelous journey, and I hope to show you glimpses right here!
