If God Hadn't Been There...

If God hadn’t been there for me,
I never would have made it. The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,”
your love, God, took hold and held me fast.
When I was upset and beside myself,
you calmed me down and cheered me up. But God became my hideout,
God was my high mountain retreat,
Ps.94:17-19;22 MSG
Rejoicing today on how good He is to me...nobody like the Lord :)

If God hadn't been there for me....
How many times can one look back at their life and see all the times that God's presence in our lives is what made us get through the times we thought we couldn't make it? Today May 18, On the 34th anniversary of my birth, I realize just how close God is to me, especially when I feel I can't make it. Those are the times he really shows out, simply because I've totally resigned myself to depend on Him and Him alone. As a very good friend of mine once preached, that's when like the Eagle, He puts us on His back and soars So high that nothing and no one can snatch us off His back!! 
No matter what life is looking like...I'm learning each day more and more to trust and depend on God.
