Day4
Week26
2 Samuel
“The fighting spread across the land, and the people consumed by the forest were more numerous than those consumed by the sword that day. Absalom was encountered by some of the servants of David. Now Absalom was riding on his mule. When the mule went under the branches of a very large tree, his head was caught in the tree. He was left in midair while the mule that was under him kept going.”
2 Samuel 18:8-9 MEV
Cross references
2 Samuel 14:26
Left In Midair
Life happens so fast. The day gets away from us and next thing we know, it’s Christmas!😳Right?
Do you ever feel like life keeps on going, only you are caught in midair with your head stuck in a tree of distractions?
We are busy with responsibilities and difficulties.
It seems that our need for control pushes us into a frenzy of worries and anxiety, even fear.
God’s plan is not full of worries. He is waiting for us to want Him. I don’t mean need His help out of the trees or to be so desperate that we have no choice, but to call on Him.
I am referring to simply choosing Him. In order to do that, we have to let go. The sensation of dangling in midair is scary, but when we seek God first, He leads us into safety.
Love God first. The rest will take care of itself.
Action Step
Take a deep breath and let go.
Pray this prayer and simply love Him.
God, You are good. No matter what goes on around me-You are good. You are worthy of praise because You are God. You provide for me, strengthen me, deliver me, and heal me. Even when I don't see You at work in my life, that doesn't change the fact that You are working.
There is no one like You. So regardless of what I face today, I will praise You! In Jesus name, Amen!
