Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things: Looking To God In All Situations
I’ve always loved September. It’s like a reset month of a lot of things starting back up again. In this month fashion will reconvene for its most important month of the year, universities are getting back into motion, kids are going back to school, parliamentary house are getting back into session, the United Nations reconvenes this month, and all of us will get back into a serious mode of working for the next two months. I also love how the leaves begin to change, signifying the change from summer to autumn.
We’re all getting back into the swing of things in this age of Covid. This has been some kind of year for us all, where death has surrounded the whole world, and where we have been forced to slow down and wait on God to handle and remove this virus. And as we all get back into the swing of things, let us not forget that it is God Who we will need in all seasons to get through all types of situations. It is God who we are to look up to for whatever we may encounter this year and for the years to come. He is the source of our help as he watches over believers and non-believers.
David wrote:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
So, as you get back into the swing of things, resolve that God will be your everything in all situations. Resolve to trust in Him when you don’t understand what you may be going through. And, resolve to trust in Him when you’re going through life’s fiery trials, believing that you will not be harmed. God is always faithful.
