10 years ago my wonderful wife and I were married. Shortly there after we adopted an orange and white kitten. Time passed and the kitten grew and grew. Not long ago he weighed in at around 20 pounds and could stretch around 3 feet. Over the past few weeks his health has gone down hill. So much so that he hardly walks anymore. Yesterday he stayed in the bathtub all day. This morning as I awoke and went into the bathroom to get ready for my day, he came and layed down at my feet. As sick and poorly as he has been getting along over the past few weeks he walked from where he was laying in the hall and layed down at my feet. At the time it touched me deeply. Later on I senced the lord saying to me that, that is what he wants us to do. No matter what the situation he wants us to lay it down at his feet and cry on our abba father. He is a big God and is bigger than what is the matter. Might be like my cat and wanted comfort, might be relational issues, problems at work or any number of other issues. He knows and he cares.
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, GOD -of-Angel-Armies protects us.
River fountains splash joy, cooling God’s city, this sacred haunt of the Most High. God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn. Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says.
Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, GOD -of-Angel-Armies protects us. Attention, all! See the marvels of GOD! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”
Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, GOD -of-Angel-Armies protects us. (Psalm 46:1-11 MSG)
