“O LORD, please rescue me from the hand of my brother, Esau. I am afraid that he is coming to attack me.” Genesis 32:11 NLT
We were walking our usual walk around a neighborhood park. On the other side of the park I noticed a boy with a small dog on a leash. At some point I heard the boy yelling, “Lucky!” and I turned to see the dog had escaped his owner and was running towards Famous. He was calm enough at first, but once the boy arrived and tried to untangle Lucky’s lead from ours, the little dog starting growling and snapping at Famous. Famous, being tangled in the leads as well, barked in defense as I stepped between them while untwisting the leads. In seconds the crisis was over, and the boy offered a “sorry” as he left with Lucky in tow.
We often forget God is ready to step in just when we need him most. Life can change in a moment, and unless we are used to calling on his name, our thoughts may not turn to him during a catastrophe. Instead, we allow fear to rule our minds and exacerbate the circumstances.
Dear God, teach me the steps of daily communion with You so that I may not fear any changing circumstances.
