He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
Psalm 62:6
Here is a big question. What is God doing when you are in a bind? When the lifeboat springs a leak? When the rip cord snaps? When the last penny is gone before the last bill is paid? …
I know what we are doing. Nibbling on nails like corn on the cob. Pacing floors. Taking pills.…
But what does God do? …
He fights for us. He steps into the ring and points us to our corner and takes over. “Remain calm; the Lord will fight for you” (Exodus 14:14).
His job is to fight. Our job is to trust.
Just trust. Not direct. Or question.… Our job is to pray and wait.
