”I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for him to rescue me. Only God is my Savior, and he will not fail me. For he alone is my safe place. His wraparound presence always protects me as my champion defender. There’s no risk of failure with God! So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me? God’s glory is all around me! His wraparound presence is all I need, for the Lord is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength.“
This is a time when the Lord is calling many to be bold, to make changes and to step out in faith. And that can be scary. But what an incredible encouragement this passage is -- reminding us that there is no risk of failure with God. When we move in obedience to Him, He will bring the success, He will bring the increase. He will bring the victory. He protects us and defends us. He strengthens us for the assignments to which He has called us. Chris I can’t help but think of that famous quote from John Quincy Adams that you so often remind us of here -- duty is ours, and the results are the Lord’s.
