In His Hands

I praise God that He holds me in His Hands. He does cause all things to work together for good; and I am so glad that He is in control. I was dreading facing today, running and attending meetings for my chaotic projects. But, thankfully, I made it through. There are still open issues; but, I trust in the LORD to grant me wisdom and strength. I will just do my best and leave the rest to HIM. In some ways, this has been a practical application of what I've been studying regarding not being afraid or fearful. I was able to gain peace by giving it to God in prayer and trusting HIM to work it out. As I was preparing for Sunday's lesson, the verse in 2 Timothy 1:12 once again stood out: "That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." The apostle Paul was confident in WHO he believed in and has entrusted his life to. In the same way, I can face all my trials without fear, because I know WHO I believe in and have entrusted my life to - my LORD and my God. Amen!
