Umbrella
I got some really good shots this week of the girls playing with their umbrella outside. It was an overcast day and about to rain. While I was watching them play it hit me how God is our umbrella in life.
He shields us from the rains, big and small, of life.
We usually are happy to have God as our umbrella when life is sunny and there’s no rain.
Then life starts to get a little dirty..
And the rain starts to fall and the mud starts to fly
And God sometimes allows us to get a little wet and muddy.
Then we start to complain, worry and cry. Sometimes we lose faith and completely try to get away from His umbrella and do all our own protecting. But God wants the rain to draw us closer to Him. He wants us to gather even tighter under His holy, righteous hand.
No matter how strong the rain and how far away we stray from that perfect umbrella of His hand
He always welcomes us back.
Even if we’re still a little muddy!!
Psalm 84:11
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
