Using the Right Eyes

Where does one start with giving a glimpse into what God’s doing, what’s going on in my life and how I’m dealing? Oh, yeah, now I remember – my name … hi, I’m Terra Price (that’s Power T to some of you). I’m the elderly member of Team Nicaragua. They say you’re never too old, so this grandma is trusting God to take her where He promised to keep her. Tomorrow we leave! I’d say the past few days have been hectic, but that’s such a shallow word. I could say God’s been working in amazing ways, but that’s nothing new. Probably the new thing is how remarkably aware I have become of His working in and through every situation.
Not everything has gone smoothly (especially this week) and sometimes it made me wonder if I’ve headed in the wrong direction. Or is it the right direction and are those fiery darts I see?
Awhile back, my granddaughter was riding in my car with me, telling me about some “scary things” in her room at night. But there was a verse she learned at school and she wanted me to learn it too. So she had me repeat it several times and it has stuck with me. (This is all “coincidence” of course!) When we got home, she wrote it out for me in her own language: “Wut time I am afaid I will trust in the.” Solm 56:3. No, that’s not Spanish, that’s a really smart 6-year-old sounding things out. But let me translate for you: What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. Psalms 56:3.
Whatever else I may forget, I going to try to remember that … trust in Thee. For whatever my fear is, whatever the problem is, whatever we may face, it is no bigger to God than that “scary thing” under my granddaughter’s bed is to me. God’s perspective … it’s a wonderful thing to have.
So pray for us to have God’s perspective, to trust Him, to be safe, to be wise and to show His love without reservation.
