Held

There is none like God, O Jeshurun [Isreal], Who rides through the heavens to your help and in His majestic glory through the skies. The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms... Deuteronomy 33:26-27

   "Why, God why?" "When, God when?" "How, God how?" These are the questions that everyone at some point or another will or has asked in the middle of the night. They are the questions that leave us tossing and turning, while wresting with finding our own human solutions and understandings. It is in these moments I am learning that I have to understand that God's plans are not my plans and His ways are not my ways. It is in those moments I have to believe and have faith in knowing that I am held. Natalie Grant sings a song called "Held" and in the lyrics it has a message that we are never promised that our life would be without pain, heartache, disappointment, etc., but through it all we are held by the Great and Mighty Hand of God.  
   I don't know about you, but I had a mother who loved to sing so when we couldn't sleep she would come in and sing a song over us and the sound of her voice brought comfort and peace to ease us into sleep. Our heavenly Father does that for us too. In Psalm 42:8 "Yet the Lord will command His loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me..."  It is in our trusting God that will bring us blessings and peace.
    I pray that you will hear God's song over you and that you find comfort and rest in His hands!
