Neither shall the flame kindle....

Whatever is going on in your life that you’re worried about, keep your faith and trust in God; keep your little hand in His big hand and realize that Jesus said “when thou passeth through the waters, I’ll be with thee, and through the rivers,” the Bible says, “they’ll not overflow thee, when you walk in the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you!” For Jesus said, “I am the Lord, thy God, and I will help you in your time of trouble.” So keep your little hand in God’s big hand, and you hold on…hold on through every storm, even in your darkest night, walk by faith, not sight.

And He walks with me...

The one thing I know for sure is that Jesus walks with me.   He is patient and merciful as I stumble around trying to do things on my own.   Even when I struggle to treat myself right, when I want to abuse my body by even more food, He patiently waits for me to come to the end of myself, and He shows me His better way.

Psalm 146

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
         Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
 ⁶ Who made heaven and earth,
         The sea, and all that is in them;
         Who keeps truth forever,
 ⁷ Who executes justice for the oppressed,
         Who gives food to the hungry.
         The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.
