What Does This Make Possible?

 

I sought the LORD,

and He answered me

and delivered me

    from all my fears.

 

          Psalm 34. 4

 

(When we seek the LORD,

He provides another way

    through the scary stuff,

  the miry bogs,

  disappointments,

  and stuff we don’t understand.

God always answers

  in one way or a thousand,

cutting through our fears,

    both real and imagined.

Fear always changes

  what we do

  and how we do it.

Seeking God changes things too.

God may not alter circumstances,

      but transforms how we see them

      and how we respond

   and gives us His strength.

This hard matter

may not be a dilemma at all,

      but God’s deliverance

      in unexpected ways.

 What does this make possible?

     God is unfolding something new.

     And we learn to trust Him more.

We cry, “O God, I can’t do this.”

And He whispers to us,

    “Good.  Because I can.”

What would we do differently

   if there is nothing to be

   afraid of

              in this situation?)

 

O LORD,

Please help us to know

   to seek You first,

and to know that

      You are in this too,

      right here with us.

Use this situation

to align our hearts with Yours.

Help us to realize

   that You are making possible

something we never even imagine.

May we be faithful

    in putting aside our fears

to walk with You instead.
