There's a Bigger Picture

The Ohio River


Day 66
You have seen my power. You know that all things are in my hands. I am making you ready, prepared for each day as it comes. Do not forget my words that you have seen. Do not lose sight of my power and my ability to keep all things in my control.

My presence in your life will fill you with joy that sustains you when you feel emotionally drained. It's all right when you go through trials, and you can persevere because of my strength within you. The emotional highs are to build you up, and the emotional lows are to build you up, too. All things work together in my design. Nothing will escape my sight and my full knowledge.

But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love [Psalm 31:14-16].

I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? [Jeremiah 32:27]

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need [Hebrews 4:13-16].
