He will show up!


As I'm buckling him in and kissing him goodbye he says.

"Ok mommy ill see you later at my awards assembly. Surprise me who else is going to be there. "
"Ok son, well for sure I will."
"I know mommy, because you are always there." 

Today, daddy was doing the morning drop off. And today, Asher is getting an award. As I walked away from the car I couldn't help but notice the confidence in his voice when it was no question if I was going to be at his awards assembly. 

It made me think of Jesus. If my son has the confidence on his earthly mother (with faults and all) showing up how much greater confidence we have in the Heavenly Father being where we want and need him to be. 

This kind confidence doesn't just happen. Over time,  as I continue to show up at his school for one event after another, no matter how big or small he has reassurance that I will be at the next one. 
Think about this for a moment. When God called Abraham to grab his son , some wood and go up to the place to sacrifice his only son, do you think he doubted God would show up? His words I'm Genesis tell us how much faith he had in His God.

He tells his servants:
"Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and the WE will come back to you."

Wow , talk about faith and trust and knowing God would show up and provide a sacrifice. Imagine? If this was Abraham's first encounter with God? He would have been like "whaaaa? You cray cray."
But we know this was not Abraham's first encounter with The Lord. Abraham had confidence in The Lord because he knew what He had done before in his life and he had built up faith in The Lord. 
When God is leading you somewhere, you have to know He will be there. Why? Because his word says "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Are you lacking the confidence in The Lord that He will be where He says He will be?

Take a moment and remember the times when He showed up. Whether they are big or small. Be assured that He was there yesterday, will be here today and He is already in tomorrow. 

One of my favorite quotes came from the Disney movie CARS, and of all characters, Mater. 
He was driving backwards and McQueen tells him to turn around because he is going to crash and Mater says...

"I don't need to know where I'm going,
I just need to know where I been"

So remember to take that moment to  reflect on where you have been and thank God for being there! 

Happy Friday friends!
