Our little son, Anthony, arrived on December 29, 2007. Thomas (Anthony's Dad) has been so protective from the very first moment. God has provided many teachable moments by watching Thomas' fatherly love for his son.
It was a month before we laid Anthony in his crib to sleep on his own, January 27th to be exact. It only lasted a couple of hours. Thomas had the baby monitor on his night stand. Thomas said, "I couldn't sleep. Every time he would make a noise, I would check on him."
God reminded me that is how much he loves us. God watches over us in love and is attentive to our every movement. As Psalm 121 says below...our God, who watches over us, will neither slumber nor sleep.
When Anthony cries, Thomas picks him up quickly and says, "It's ok. You're in Daddy's arms. Daddy has you now and you're safe." Thomas would be on one bended knee, bent over Anthony, just waiting for a whimper.
God loves you so much that He too watches over you and just waits for you to cry out to Him. Call on God today and He will pick you up and carry you in His arms. You too can then say that you are safe in Daddy's arms.
Psalm 121 (NIV) -
"I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip, he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over (you) will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you, the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm, he will watch over your coming and going...both now and forevermore."
