He Delights In The Details~

Psalm 37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

Life can get complicated.  Life can get worrisome.  If we allow it, life can get to be such a drag.  But, that is NOT the way it was meant to be!!  No!  God robbed Himself in flesh and came as our Savior to earth so that we would have Life MORE Abundantly.  Life is not supposed to be a drag. It is supposed to be good....because GOD is GOOD.  But....sometimes the vision can get blurred, everything starts to become chaotic, and this is when we need to steal away. 

So, last night I was talking to the Lord specifically about some things.  I was so burdened about a particular situation. I found myself saying, “Lord, I know there are big things—more urgent things—in this universe that need your influence.  And, I know that out of all the more urgent things going on in the world that need Your attention, this probably is something that could be put on the back-burner (so to speak); but I can’t help it…I still hold to the hope that even in all the big things that are going on in the world, you still care about what concerns me…You can see all the happenings of this world, yet I know you can zero in on this moment…in all the chaos You can still see and hear me…and I need Your help….”  And I continued my conversation with the One who holds it all in His hands.  

I am sorry if this prayer disturbs anyone.  But, I had to share it anyway for the context of today’s blog.  You see, after that prayer while I still held on to the hope and belief that God heard me, I still had no promise of a fulfilling answer. But I chose to trust that HE was listening inspite of the not knowing. And, while I may not receive an answer for some time to come, closing my eyes and trusting that God still had taken the time to at least hear me out, I fell off to sleep.

Today’s promise was this [above] scripture.  In the New Living Translation it says it like this:  The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.

How awesome!

Proverbs 16:9  In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
Seeking the Master is what it takes for triumphant survival.  Even the most powerful of individuals living on this earth must be supported by the Lord, otherwise their strength and courage is of little avail.  When the steps of an individual are ordered by the Lord, that individual must walk in the orders that have been set out, so that the Lord may take delight in him or her.  God does care about the "minute" and the "gigantic" circumstances of those He has created. 

He is a big God!  He’s bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears.  God is bigger than any mountain that I can see, that I seem to imagine, or cannot see.  And, even while He is sitting high and overseeing it all, it is no biggy for Him to zero in on me and listen to me as I talk to Him.  My pleas are not a buzzing in His ear, He really understands every word.  Tears are even a language He understands.   

We are not a waste of His time.  He delights in every detail of our lives! So keep trusting....
