Did I just read what I think I read? I’d never seen such an announcement. Similar ones, sure. But “Found: Potbellied Pig?” Who loses a pig? The sign presupposes a curious moment. Someone spots the pig lumbering down the sidewalk. “Poor thing. Climb in little piggy. The street is no place for you. I’ll take you home.” I wouldn’t claim one. But God did.
God did when he claimed us. We assume God cares for the purebreds of the world. The tidy-living. But what about the rest of us? Do we warrant his oversight?
Psalm 91:1-2 offers a rousing yes! “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name!”
From Max Lucado's book, 'Come Thirsty'
This is a verse I keep on my mirror and see every morning, a little reminder to trust Him with everything and hand all things over to Him, as it is only in His strength that I do all things.
