“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my
life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single
day had passed.” Psalms 139:16
Hope you are well. This post I wrote inspired by a
song by Casting Crowns called ‘GOD OF ALL MY DAYS!’ Do anyone of us know how
many days we have? The answer is No …really but we have a God who knows our
first and last breath and He is the God of all our Days.
The last week I came to know of the sudden demise of a
teacher from the school where my children attend. It was a shock to many and
though I didn’t really know this teacher, yet when I heard of her sudden cardiac
arrest, the unpredictability of life just dawned on me once again. A few times
I have written about the shortness of life in the posts about the sudden departure of my brother- in law and of my dearest friend ‘S’ (both in their
early 40’s). Life suddenly turns upside down for the families left behind and
that vacuum that they create in our hearts can never really be filled except for
a hope that we will meet them once again on the other shore!
However, one thing that we can always bank on is that
none of this ever comes as a surprise to our Lord. He is indeed The Alpha &
The Omega – The Beginning & The End (Rev 1:8) and there is nothing that is
beyond His knowledge and His perfect will. So, we can rest assured that Our Lord
who loves us to the point of death, is fully aware of everything that concerns us.
How reassuring that we are not just left hanging there in the air in
uncertainty but that amid all that has happened, is happening and will be
happening, He is on the Throne and in complete control.
Next let us see what kind of a God we have;
When we are broken, He is our Healer ( Jer 30:17)
He is the One who makes all things new (Rev 21:15)
He is the Wisdom to all our questions (1 Corin
1:30-31)
He is our Savior in frightful situations (Isa 41:13)
He is the God who never changes.( Malachi 3:6)
He is the God who pursues us with love (Jer 31:3)
The God whose Grace covers us in our repeated failures.(Exodus
34:6)
He is the God who is our strength when we fall.(2
Corin 12:9)
He is the lifter of our head (Psalms 3:3)
The reason that we sing.(Psalms 59:16, Psalms 63:7)
In our worries, He is our stillness. (Psalms 46:10)
In our searching, He is our answer. ( Jer 29:13)
In our blindness, our Vision (Isa 9:2)
In our bondage, our Freedom! ( Gal 5:1)
What more do we need? He’s the God who is with us unchanging
in all the seasons of our life and He loves us more than we could ever imagine!
Let us sing this song with the quiet reassurance that
no matter what happens to us in our lives, He is the God who stays and the God
of All Our Days!
