Joy in Providence

Matthew 10:29 (KJV) Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Today was one of those days where I started with an insight and looked for a scripture that at least partially expressed what I was thinking.  I am meditating on getting old.  I’m thinking about how long I might have and what I will do with the time.  Ultimately, I want to do what God wants me to do and be submissive to Him.

Much of that means that I have to trust in the providence of God.  He knows.  He acts.  He leads. My job is to follow that lead because only He knows where we are going.  What a joy that is to know that God is in charge and that He sees beyond horizons.  I can trust Him.  If His eye is on the sparrow, as the song says, I know He’s watching me.  And I know while watching, He is also providing for and planning for.

Again, what a joy.

So?  In the words of another song,

“Trust and obey.
For there’s no other Way,
To be happy in Jesus.
