I cannot describe the comfort and peace that Isaiah 41:13 brings to me as my youngest daughter, (student I.D. in hand, dorm room and roommate assigned and classes finalized,) is preparing to move to Auburn University in August.
As a mother, I would love nothing better than to be able to just go with her!
But as a Christian mother, I am fully aware that my protection of my baby girl cannot compare to that of the Lord Almighty whom holds her hand.
God's promises are as real and true as the air we breathe and He will never leave nor forsake us.
As humans we often times think of God in human terms, understandably, but once you realize and trust that not one single word He has spoken to us can be conceived as or compared to any human experience, and that when you earnestly seek Him and actually get to know Him, you will deeply fall in love with Him and begin to truly see His work in action in your life.
He is what He says, He does what He says and He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
I don't know a single human in the history of life on this planet that we can say that about.
My prayer today Father, is for all of us to seek you with our complete heart, mind and soul.
I praise you Lord for being true to me and holding my hand everyday, especially the sorrowful and scary ones.
I ask you to hold my sweet Anna's hand a little stronger as you take this new journey with her and I am grateful to you Lord for her!
Bless all new college students this new year Father, and guide them all on straight paths.
In the hand-holding name of Jesus, Amen.
