Resting in His Hands
“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make
me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8
An elderly woman in West
Virginia had never ridden an airplane. Her grandson
finally persuaded her to take an air flight. With fear and trepidation, she
agreed. After a short flight, the plane landed. As she deplaned, the grandson
asked her cheerily, “How did you like the flight, Grandma?” “Well,” she
unenthusiastically replied, ‘I went up in the plane, but I never let my weight
down during the whole flight.” That fearful, grandma is like many of God’s
children. In all our trials and circumstances, we too often neglect to rest
completely in His all-powerful hands.
Thought for the Day: “There is no
conceivable situation in which it is not safe to trust God.”
--J. Oswald Sanders
