There was a song in church today that really made me think on a number of levels. The refrain said "As a child rests in his mother's arms so do I trust in you."
At first, I thought about that feeling of holding my child. I remember rocking each of my children back to sleep in the middle of the night when they as infants woke up crying. I recall how each melted against me as I snuggled them and struggled to croak out a lullaby at 3 am... Even now, with Nathan at 6 years, when I bring him sleeping out of the car after a late-night return home, he knows that in my arms he is completely safe.
Now, I ask you. Do any of us feel that safe, protected and wholly cared for by Jesus? Why not, I wonder? Have we become conditioned to not trust that much anymore, or do we feel Christ just won't be there for us?
What’s in my NOW? — Pavel Guzhikov
