“You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great. You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed. ~ Psalm 18:35-37 (emphasis mine)
Have you ever realized how gentle our Lord is with us? Over the last couple of weeks He has reminded me gently that He is in control of the universe (and my life). Sometimes I just see only the things right before me; I don’t see the big picture. David always found the right words to praise our Lord. If you have not read Psalm 18 in its entirety, I encourage you to put it on your reading schedule…
So this week, I am thankful for gentleness; not only the gentleness of my Lord and Savior, but also the gentleness from the people around me…
- Thank You Lord for Your incredible gentleness. Although I sometimes see only the issues in front of me, You always find a way to remind me that there is a bigger picture. I might not understand it now, but I know that I can trust You…
- Thank You Lord for sending Your Son to redeem us. He showed us what gentleness means. How to react to even rude people…
- Thank You Lord for placing a husband by my side who is so gentle. Not only in his actions toward me, but also his words calm my spirit…
- Thank You Lord for the gentle reminder to digg deep into Psalms – my comfort ‘food’. I am so thrilled about Beth Moore’s study on the Psalms…
- Thank You Lord for the friends in my life, who are loving, but also gently point me back in the right direction…
- Thank You Lord for the gentle breezes in the afternoon, which helps cool down the air at night…
- And Lord, this week I am especially thankful for Lynn, who has a gentle spirit and is a great prayer warrior. Lord, thank You for crossing our paths two years ago. I am blessed by her presence in my life…
