Isn't it interesting given everything we have been through recently that God is still the last one I call on sometimes?! It makes no sense to me given His promises and the truth of His Word but I seem to get in the way so many times. I am a habitual "fixer" of things and believe that I have a solution to almost anything. But I know deep down that God is my Protector, Healer, Refuge, and Rock.
God has shown me recently that I call on Him as my last resort. When I know I can't get it done, I start praying, pleading with God. I don't want to be that person. I want to turn to my God as a default, an immediate response to something "good" or "bad" going on in our lives. Matthew 11:28 says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." In Exodus 33:14 He says, "My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest."
It's so easy to believe God's promises for others and neglect to apply them to our own lives. I am committing right now to call on The Lord first and quit attempting to "fix" every situation that comes my way. What a relief to know that my God goes before me and already knows the outcome!
I praise you Lord because You are worthy of our praise! Thank you for never leaving my side.
