God, Our Defender

God, Our Defender

He is my defender; I will not be defeated.

Psalm 62:6

Here is a big question. What is God doing when you are in a bind? When the lifeboat springs a leak? When the rip cord snaps? When the last penny is gone before the last bill is paid? . . .

I know what we are doing. Nibbling on nails like corn on the cob. Pacing floors. Taking pills. . . .

But what does God do? . . .

He fights for us. He steps into the ring and points us to our corner and takes over. “Remain calm; the Lord will fight for you” (Exod. 14:14).

His job is to fight. Our job is to trust.

Just trust. Not direct. Or question. . . . Our job is to pray and wait.
