Today is Thursday, December 27th, 2007; Karen's Korner #1217

(My apologies for no Karen's Korners the past two days - Christmas Day and yesterday. I am having computer problems and my machine in currently in Des Moines in the 'computer hospital', The couple Korners I had prepared are 'stuck' inside. I will use them in the next few days. After all, if we are Christians, everyday is like Christmas!)
 
A couple of days ago I was reaching for something in our top cupboards. My arms weren't long enough nor were my legs. I had no choice but to grab our step stool.
 
It seemed like God was impressing on me that His being in our lives is like my stool. We are never tall enough with so many things out of our reach. He will lift us up and help us, if we but let Him and ask for His help. All the things we want or need. The things which He has in store for us are not as far away from us as we might believe they are!
 
Isaiah 41:10 says, "Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."
 
Commentary on this verse:  "We need not fear because (1) God's presence is with us ('I am with you'.), (2) God has established a relationship with us ('I am your God'), and (3) God's assurance of strength, help, and victory over sin and death is certain."
 
Thank You, Father God, that you hold us up and that everything we ever need or want, we can reach if we allow you to help us and care for us. Amen.
