What's up with His eyes?
Sometimes God uses everyday life experiences to show how great He is. The other day I and Zion (my 6 year old daughter) was at a friend’s house. Zion was in the restroom, when we noticed a huge black spider was in the bathtub. I was torn between rushing in and killing the spider or just helping Zion move pass the state of shock that she was in. I chose to just help Zion because she was ceased with fear. I just begin to talk to her in a very calm voice reassuring her that I would not let anything happen to her. I told her to look me in the eyes, but she kept her head down; she wasn’t moving or responding. I again reassured her that because I was there she had nothing to worry about. Finally she looked up at me, and I told her to just keep her eyes locked on me. She was still terrified; she didn’t want to walk to the sink to wash her hands. I assured her again, just look into my eyes, and finish up. She finished washing her hands (looking at me the whole time) and walked out and hugged me.
This is such a picture of Papa God! When we find ourselves in scary or trying situations He just wants us to look into His eyes. When we stay focused on Him we can accomplish anything. Even when we are surrounded by crazy situations, and circumstances our focus needs to be on Him. Instead of Zion saying go take care of the spider she allowed herself to trust her Dad to comfort her, and walk her through a very real and scary situation. Sometimes when we are walking through a storm, or are surrounded by things we are tempted to get angry with God for not making the things around us change. I don’t know why He chooses not to act the way we want Him to but, during those times when our surrounding aren’t changing we can just look into Papa’s eyes, and listen to His voice reassuring us everything will be okay.
Be encouraged today, no matter what the situation may be look into His eyes, and allow yourself to trust Him.
