God, Our Defender

Here is a big question.  What is God doing when you are in a bind?  When the lifeboat springs a leak?  When the rip cord snaps?  When the last penny is gone before the last bill is paid?...

I know what we are doing.  Nibbling on nails like corn on the cob.  Pacing floors.  Taking pills...

But what does God do?...

He fights for us.  He steps into the ring and points us to our corner and takes over.  "Remain calm; the Lord will fight for you" (Exodus 14:14).

His job is to fight.  Our job is to trust.

Just trust.  Not direct.  Or question...Our job is to pray and wait. 

Max Lucado, When God Whispers Your Name

He is my defender; I will not be defeated.  ~  Psalm 62:6
