When we returned home from the CMA Rally last week, we found
that we had ants on the kitchen cabinets, lady bugs on the ceilings and moths
were hanging here and there. There was
also a big spider web in the corner of the living room. Pests had taken up
residence while we were gone! We left
our home locked and safe, yet intruders had gotten in. It took some doing, but we got the ants under
control, vacuumed the lady bugs and swiped the cobwebs from the corners. We could have left them alone and let nature
take its course, but we’d have had a bigger problem on our hands. Even though we had mounds of clothes to wash
and loads of camping equipment to put away, we took care of those little
problems first. Pests come when we least
expect them. Even at camp, although our camper was snug and our zipper stayed closed,
as we closed our camper up, we found a black widow spider crawling right at the
doorway.
Are you living with the pests of life? Regrets meeting you at
every doorway? Are there cobwebs of sorrow lurking in the corners of your mind?
Thoughts of unrealized hopes could be hanging from the ceiling of your
life. Fears dance across the counters on
a daily basis. Every time you try to wipe them away they reappear as though
you’ve done nothing about them!
Oh beloved, run to the Lord! He has the best Pest Control
Guidebook in the universe! He has a remedy for every problem you’ve encountered
in the past. What’s more, His control takes care of the present and the future!
His Word limits the greatest enemy of your heart, the devil, and makes your
life sound, sealed and delivered! His love for you is limitless, His care for
you is round the clock and His plans for your future are laid out for you to
receive! Let Him be all that He is for you and rejoice as He reminds you daily
that you are loved and He is with you forever!
Psalm 32:5 I
acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will
confess my transgressions to the LORD”; And You forgave the guilt of my
sin. (NAS)
Psalm 104:34 May all my
thoughts be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
Psalm 18:2 The LORD
is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find
protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.
Proverbs 19:23 Fear of
the LORD leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm.
Psalm 31:19 How great
is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear You. You lavish it on
those who come to You for protection, blessing them before the watching world.
