He tells us He is our defender, our protector, our friend, our Father, someone who always looks out for us. Well do you believe Him? Isn’t that what a good dad would do? Or a good friend, or someone sworn to protect someone else? If you heard or knew something detrimental was going to happen to someone you loved, your friend, or your child, by a certain person, and you had the power to prevent them from being hurt in the ways you knew it would do, even if it would cause temporary pain in the moment, wouldn’t you do what you knew to stop it? Even if you knew they might not understand? I think we would all hope to be that person who would. And just as it would pain us to have to do what we knew was best, it grieves God’s heart just the same, to see us so confused, saddened, and trying to be okay with something that we didn’t see or know, something that sometimes is just so hard to accept.
But, friend? You have to trust Him. He was there. He heard, He saw, and knows things that you don’t have a clue about. And when you can fully grasp that, trust that, and rest in THAT, you’ll be able to fully let go, breathe, and finally thank Him for what He had to do. He loves you. And He won’t ever stop watching over you. ❤️
“He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways.” Job 24:23
