Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:24
The long school year finally came to a close.
Where was I with under an hour till the bitter end?
In a heap on the floor.
After missing the last step while waltzing down the stairs to assembly, I heard my ankle make a weird sound as I fell to the floor.
Happy summer to me!
Lying on the ground with my head on the stairs, I contemplated what had transpired.
Didn’t have to sit alone more than a couple of seconds before my friend came rushing to my side.
Not wanting to throw up or faint, I laid there quietly, unable to do much else.
My friend summoned help and over the next bits of time, I was covered with God’s provision.
While resting on the dirty stairs, I was cared for. All my needs answered.
When I was at my lowest, God never left my side.
He was in the people who came, helping with different things each time.
He was in my husband’s schedule who had not left for a job hours away.
He was in the friend who recommended where to go.
He was in the doctor’s office that helped me in and out in under an hour.
He was in the details.
He always is.
Yes, He allows things. Suffering.
But He’s always right there along with you.
We can have peace amidst our trials because we know Who is with us.
God goes before us, is beside us, and is behind us.
Every single day.
Even when we go kerplop.
We have no idea how blessed we really are.
