I do it all the time. Tapping out a message on my phone, I misspell God.
Gid…Gad…Ged…Gud
When I read other people’s messages, I notice they do the same thing. But it doesn’t matter – any letter between a Capital G and a lowercase d I know is supposed to be o. I know they are referring to God. My brain automatically corrects the error. I see it as “God”.
And I began to think, what if I saw the rest of my world that way. No matter what is going on in my life, I know I’m in between the G and the d, and that means I’m safe. I’m in the middle of God who rescues me.
In battle, I can trust Him. 1 Chronicles 5:20 says, “They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.”
When I cry out to Him in the middle of the battle I can trust that I’m safe in between the G and d. If I call to Him, He will deliver me. There are no doubts. Even when battle rages thick in my mind and tells me I am alone, I do not have to give in because I know my very life exists in the midst if His glorious presence.
And so today we go out into the battle field. Facing our usual enemies, and maybe even some new ones. At times we doubt our strength for the fight today. Will today be the day they finally take us down and under? Oh no it will not sweet sister. The battle is the Lords. We exist between the G and the d, and nestled within Him, we are always safe.
Once again, God fills you and pours your words into my heart when I need them most!! Tears are being shed over this one. Thank you.
Oh Donna…I am so glad this spoke to you. To tell you the truth, when I wrote this this morning I debated on if it was even worth posting…thinking it wouldn’t mean anything to anyone but me. So glad I did it anyways, learning obedience is a really good thing. Love you girl!
Oh Stephanie, He is so amazing – and when He speaks to our hearts thru friends it is so awesome. When I type Good Morning it almost always somes out GOod Morning and my mind goes to GOD when reminds me just how He has my day/my morning/my all under His watchful eye. Thank you.
Amen girl!!!!
I have some prayers that i am waiting to be answered. God has been speaking to me to trust in him. Your blog has encouraged to trust him and I WILL see an answer. I recently wrote a blog called When God tells you to wait. Please check it out.
Oh and by the way the battle I am right now nearly took me out today but am encouraged to remember the battle is the Lord’s
One more thing I just remembered. During a time when I was feeling rejected, I was typing the word on my mob and the predictive text came as selected! God showed me that even though I was feeling rejected he had selected me!
Stephanie, I’ve done that soooo many times, but your reflection has put this in a whole new perspective! I’m safe between the G and the d! If I call to Him, He will answer. Thank you for touching my heart with His truth this morning!
YES! Can relate! Once again, profound thoughts and lesson from something so simple and ordinary! Thank you for sharing! You are a blessing!
The verse you quoted is one of my favorites. The ones before it describe how those men who were fighting were very skillful but it was not their skill that delivered them, it was their trust in the Lord. That ties in so well with what you said, it is not within us but within Him that the victory lies. Always a good reminder along the path…eyes straight ahead…He leads us in triumphal procession!
I so needed this reminder today! God spoke a word to me through your message! Thank you!
Thank you! He knew I needed to read these words today. God is good and I know that no matter the adversity or disappointments during this battle I face that I am between the G and the d…thank You Jesus!
