I will not put my hopes in my bow,
my sword will not bring me to safety;
for it was you who saved us from our afflictions - from Psalm 44.
I tend to attribute too much of my security and my success to factors which I'm able to convince myself are under my own control. There's a difference between using my gifts as I should and putting my faith in them. I need to remember that God will provide for what we need, even if my inventory of available resources looks to be coming up short.
Does a woman forget her baby at the breast,
or fail to cherish the son of her womb?
Yet even if these forget, I will never forget you.- Is 49, 15-16
These are reassuring words, in this day when we routinely forget the children of the womb, or at least try to. In times when I feel despondent, I must remember that God will not fail to provide for my needs.
