Blizzard Day

When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the donkeys and become worried about us.” 1 Samuel 9:5

In a snow and blow such as we have going on here, it is obvious that we must care about and for the people. However, at some point yesterday there might have come that time when a father changed from being concerned about his car and began being concerned over his child driving home from school. Conditions changed slowly yesterday and with plenty of warning time to get into trouble, the unwise may have waited too long or tried just one more stop along the way. We can tell that conditions are not terrible when Dad is just worried about the car. Everyone joins in the worry when Dad looks out and worries about the kid and is no longer concerned with the car. Dad's have not changed since Saul's day a thousand years before our Lord Jesus came.

Does that apply to our Heavenly Father?

No it does not, for the Dad we have here has no control over the conditions and so as they deteriorate in the storm he may become worried over his youthfully reckless progeny. God is in complete control, even if we may doubt sometimes while watching the news, and is never worried over His sheep. Our Lord knows exactly where we are, exactly what will happen to us, and when we will be reunited with Him. We become less worried when we learn to trust in Him more; when the knowledge of Him becomes enough to overcome our doubts while staring into the storm conditions and we know, just know, fully and completely, that He is in control... always.

Always and forever, He has me!
