Don't Be A Creeper

A story is told of a weary traveler who arrived on the banks of the Mississippi River with no bridge to cross. Although it was winter and a layer of ice covered the water, the traveler feared the ice not strong enough to bear his weight.  Nightfall was fast approaching so reluctantly the traveler began to slowly crawl on hands and knees across the river's frozen surface certain of death. In his fear, he heard the rattle of a horse-drawn wagon as it passed him.  He heard the amazing sound of its driver singing merrily as he moved across the icy road.

 

Do you identify with the trusty driver or the hesitant traveler?  Too many of us must admit we are creepers -- just like the traveler.  God has promised us so much: "We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods." (Psalm 91:1).  "This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him." (Psalm 91:2). "He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your armor." (Psalm 91:4).  "Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day." (Psalm 91:5).  "For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me." (Psalm 91:9). "Give your burdens to the Lord. He will carry them. He will not permit the godly to slip or fall." (Psalm 55:22). 

Those who truly believe in God will truly trust Him.  We have the promises of One who cannot lie and is absolutely trustworthy.  We can boldly move through even the most difficult times confidently and singing merrily.  Let us walk uprightly trusting fully in The Father. Don't be a creeper~
