God waits

God reached down to take my hand.

But I was busy…one hand on my cell phone, one steering the car. I really didn’t have a hand to spare to reach up.
                                                                                                         So He waited.

God reached down to take my hand.

But I was tired…one hand under my pillow, one curling the blanket under my chin. Needed to sleep in peace, not grab on.
                                                                                                        So He waited.

God reached down to take my hand.

But I was playing…one hand in a ball glove and the other throwing the ball. Had to make the play, not swat the air.
                                                                                                         So He waited.

And things went bad. My husband’s health was failing. My family was at odds. My job was getting harder. I had no one to turn to and nowhere to go, so I threw up my hands in frustration,

And God reached down and took my hands.

                                                                                                         Thank heavens He waited.

if Dr. Seuss wrote devotions...

I AM GOD…

                              GOD I AM.

That God-I-Am, that God-I-Am, how well I know that God-I-Am.

Do you know His Son, the Lamb?

From Love, I know His Son, the Lamb… I know Him through that God-I-Am.

Do you know Him in your house? Do you serve Him with your spouse?

Of course I know Him in my house and daily serve Him with my spouse.

Do you take Him here and there? Do you take Him everywhere?

I take His word both here and there so He is with me everywhere.

Do you feel Him at your work or from His mission do you shirk?

I try to keep Him at my work where evil often seems to lurk.

So I keep safe His Holy name and honor how He took the blame

For all my sins and all my fears, for doubts and pains and mournful tears.

He sacrificed His Son the Lamb so I could live as He had planned.

Why he would often hold my hand and guide me through the world of man

I cannot start to understand. So humbly in His love I stand.

                                             Thank you…Thank you, God-I-Am.
