{Five Minute Friday Link-up :: Support ::}

​Aaron and Hur holding up Moses’ arms during the battle.
The flying buttresses on Notre Dame Cathedral.
A skeleton.
Spiritual, physical, emotional provision.
All of these are a type of support. Some seen, some unseen.
Without proper support buildings would tumble and humans would crumble under pressure.
It’s necessary in a time of crisis.
Human beings would be blobs on the sidewalk without proper infrastructure.
Its presence lets us know we are not alone.
 
In 2 Chronicles 16:9 we read, "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His….” (NASB) In this verse I find that the Lord of all the universe is eagerly searching for people who love Him wholeheartedly SO THAT He may give strong support. Truly amazing! He checks our insides in order to give aide to our outsides. Okay, a bit corny, but this is the way I think.
 
What I could do if I had a billion dollars is a drop in the bucket compared to God strongly supporting me. But it only happens because my heart is completely His. No keeping back anything for myself. No games of hide and seek. Lay my heart bare before the Lover of my Soul and I will dwell under the shadow of the Almighty God.
Then I will know what support looks like.
Then I will understand how He has been using the moments in my life to draw me to Himself.
