Straining Favor with the Lord
Sometimes I feel like I am pushing the Lord's limits with me. I am really pressing the "Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil" thing hard. Maybe it is because I am fearful of what might happen if the Lord's hand even strayed a little bit from protecting me. That is probably a good thing overall because He wants us to trust Him explicitly.
Ps 115 - [11] You who *fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
I just wish that I was a little more polished with my delivery. It seems to be the same request over and over again. I am afraid of falling headlong into a situation that I won't be able to back out of - not on my own steam, but that my faith will fail me when I need it most. Perhaps I am looking at this all wrong at times.
Pr 3:5-8 [5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. [7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. [8] It will be healing to your *body And refreshment to your bones.
I don't know what is coming down the path towards me, but I know in whom I can trust to get me through it. - LW
