Oh me, oh my, Lara! My heart was racing and my breathing shallowed as I read the beginning of this post. Then I stopped and laughed with a sigh of relief. I love the lesson your drew from this. How many times, even recently, have I feared a train wreck! How reassuring to know God has it all in control and we don’t need to see the end to know it will be ok.

Interesting that the word angles and angels are so closely related. The angels cans see God’s plan from every angle and yet they long to see into the things that the spirit has revealed to us?!

“the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.”

Perhaps in this is a word into the glory that God plans to work in us in the end when he reveals his Glory. My perspective certainly needs to turn to this rather than the small me centered focus that binds me.

Thanks for the AWESOME story!!

In reply to Andierae. He isn't, is He. Never desperate. Never freaking out and honking the horn to stop a train. That's so comforting to remember.

In reply to margie. I love that imagery, "Let the hand of God cover you with His protection." He is our shield. Believing with you, sister.

I had to giggle to myself after reading the end of your train story. The truth is, I could see myself doing the exact same thing:))

I love how you tied it into experiences here. It caused me to think back on times I’ve freaked out because all I could see was what was around me. His perspective is greater and all compassing. Must.Trust.Him.Completely.

Have a blessed Friday, my friend!

What a great reminder and a fresh perspective. God has been reaffirming the idea to me, “I am not desperate, my people should not be either.” Trusting Him to work all things together. Thank you for this post.

Oh Lara how I agree with you. It is so hard sometimes to Stand Firm in the Lord. To run or be an ostrich is easier than to stand firm and let the hand of God cover you with His protectiion.
thanks for the analogy it is quite fitting.
