“He will feed His fold like a shepherd; He will gather together His lambs—the weak and the wobbly ones—into His arms. He will carry them close to His bosom, and tenderly lead like a shepherd the mother of her lambs.” (Isaiah 40:11 VOICE)
I belong to a Facebook group for dog people. I tend to be liberal with hitting the ‘Like’ button on every puppy post. I read about a lady who works from home and has a new puppy. She takes her puppy to a doggy-daycare so that she can focus on her work for a few hours every day. I skipped the ‘Like’ button. When my dog was alive, I could not bring myself to leave her with anyone outside our immediate family. What does this reveal about me? Perhaps it means I am more attached to my dog, or it could be that I have trust and abandonment issues!
I seem to have a similar independent streak when it comes to handling other issues. Instead of surrendering my concerns and weaknesses to God, I try to take care of everything myself. Even though I realize that the Lord is capable and dependable, I am reluctant to let go.
God runs a day and night care center for all of us. He gathers the weak and the wobbly ones in His arms and tenderly cares for them. We can drop off all our concerns, weaknesses, fears, anxieties in God-care any time we are ready. He is trustworthy. He will never abandon us. His love is unconditional and eternal.
