What stands out to me in this post is when you said...”how very tiny you are in the Grand Scheme”
I was just having a conversation with my sister today and had said to her...if we were to take that one huge mountain in our lives...the one that seems impossible to move...impossible to carry... impossible to get out from...and we place it in Gods hand what would it look like? I think it would appear to be so small.
Does that minimize what we go through on this earth...by no measure. But When we place it in his hands and no longer try to carry it ourselves. That might be guilt and pain...we put it in his hands and in some miraculous way it becomes so much smaller. His grace falls over it and his love covers it. The guilt I struggle with and the pain that somedays seems to consume me...I dont want it! I Hate the story that has played out for my life...but I can honestly say simply because I have experienced it for myself...God cares and somehow when I place it all in his hand, I feel this overwhelming strength rise up within me. He will do that for you too Chad. Someday...you will soar over those mountains . I pray that you can find that place in God...It amazes me how much your perspective on things can change when you are above it all. Things also appear to be so much smaller when you are above it all. Like in an airplane. Getting there is the hard part... the first step is simply letting go and putting it in Gods hand.
David looked to the hills...He looked to the one who created it all. The maker of Heaven and Earth. He looked to God for Help. “Lift up your eyes to the hills -”
Place your entire circumstances in Gods Hand and watch your feet begin to lift off the ground
