I’ve been really wrestling with what to do to advocate for our girls since last Wednesday. At my very core I want to fight to keep them safe in our home, but wanted to the go ahead from God. This is what he lead me to today...
"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you". (2 Chronicles 20:12)
An Israelite named Uzzah lost his life because he “reached out and took hold of the ark of God” (2 Sam. 6:6) He placed his hands on it with the best of intentions-to steady it, “because the oxen stumbled” –but nevertheless, he had overstepped his boundaries by touching the Lord’s work, and “therefore God struck him down” (2 Sam 6:7) Living a life of faith often requires us to leave things alone.
If we have completely entrusted something to God, we must keep our hands off it. He can guard it better than we can, and He does not need our help. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him, do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes” Ps. 37:7
Things in our lives may seem to be going all wrong, but God knows our circumstances better than we do. And He will work at the perfect moment, if we will completely trust Him to work in His own way and in His own time. Often there is nothing as godly as inactivity on our part, or nothing as harmful as restless working, for God has promised to work His sovereign will.
I love those 2 little girls and as departure from us happens on Friday I will cling to theses verses. His Sovereign plan and purposes can’t be thwarted. I can rest in His great love for these precious children and their future as hard as that will be for us to let go, He is faithful.
