Remember

Few things are more frustrating than driving with a passenger who refuses to stay on their side. “Slow down!” “Watch out!” “You drive like an old lady!” My response is normally, "Do you want to drive?!?” As a teen, I knew the queen of driving from the passenger side—my mother. And although it was frustrating, she had good reason to keep a hawk’s eye on my steering. I had just gotten my license and had already been in two accidents! I might have thought I was “the man” on the road, but I wasn’t. Though I found my mother’s constant lack of trust in my ability to keep her safe disrespectful, I really had no basis to demand her confidence. I hadn’t proven myself trustworthy.

This is not so with God.

If God were driving, not only would it be unnecessary to doubt His ability to keep you safe, but it would be offensive to think He'd do anything otherwise! Who are you to worry about your safety when the one who is driving is flawless? Greater is His presence with us than anything that could harm us. He is so strong that He can use harm itself for our good.

One of the most powerful displays of this is the attitude of David towards Goliath. David clearly recognized that Goliath was not worthy of his fear. While all of Israel had begun to see Goliath like a god, David knew that his height didn't make him any more than a man —one that bleeds and dies like everyone else. It only made sense for David to look at Goliath like "Who is this dwarf of a man that defies the armies of the living God?" God wants that kind of confidence from us. Though circumstances may be too hard for us, they are never too hard for God! But when we forget the strength of God, in the face of our problems, our problems become gods and God (in our minds) is reduced to the weakness of mere men. No wonder we don't call on Him. We doubt He can help!

But He can. He who comforts us will always take care of us. Remember Him today! He who creates worlds. He who deserves our trust.
