May Webbit Meeting

Hello, friends, (: I want to first thank those who came to our meeting last week, I'm sorry the devotional is up late. We're growing pretty quickly! I'm very excited to see where the Lord takes us.  This meeting we had four in attendance, and we're starting to see new faces showing interest. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to grow together. This last month we studied chapter two in our book "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World." We talked about how the Lord does care for us. My devotional talks about how God cares when we're  worried, and wants us to trust Him with it. 
Psalm 121- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
David starts by saying that he looks to the hills for his help, and that his help is the Lord. It stands out to me that his help is coming from the hills. In times of battle, the advantage was given to the side with the higher ground. Attacks were more effective if they could descend onto the enemy. Kings would meet in the middle, the no man's land, and if they decided to go to war they'd return or look to their army and signal their need and the army would immediately come to their aid. That's what I picture here. In his time of need, he looked to the Lord, and He immediately came to his help. Why? Because God won't even let your foot slip. He cares enough to take care of you constantly. David goes on to say that He never sleeps, He never even naps. The Lord keeps you, and He covers your strength, He protects you from the dangers of day and night. He protects you physically and spiritually. He watches and protects every step you take, from this moment on through eternity. Last month i talked about Matthew 28:20 and Jesus' promise that He will never leave us, and will be with us alway, even to the end of the world. The end of the world is going to be a hard, ugly, scary, terrible time. And God will be there with us every step of the way through the toughest of times. If He's going to be there through the hard times, He'll be there through the not so hard times too. 
In our study we talked about 1 Peter 5:7, which said we can bring our worries and cares to God, He cares and wants to know what's going in our lives. Psalm 55:22 says basically the same thing, but adds that He won't allow us to fall or get lost. This theme is touched on throughout the Bible. God cares. He loves us, and will not leave us.  
For me, finding these passages was an extreme encouragement. I've been so overwhelmed for the past month or so with so much. Finding these helped me to remember that I'm not alone, and that God wants me to just trust Him and give it all to Him and He'll take care of it and guide me through.  There's one more verse I want to leave you with, and this will be my conclusion. 




Psalm 62:8. Trust in Him at all times, ye people, pour out your hearts before Him: God is a refuge for us.      Selah.
