The young mum pulled the scones from the oven, listening for
the kettle to boil. She was busy in the kitchen, but also, she kept a watchful
eye on her 18-month-old in the conservatory: a wee girl who rejoices in climbing
anything and everything – at just the right moment, Jem abandoned the scones
and scooped her daughter from the window ledge before she over-balanced and
pitched onto the tile floor beneath.
God promises (psalm 32) that he will counsel us and watch
over us. There may be global disasters abroad and domestic situations at home,
shootings and civil unrest, and God is involved in all, near to all who suffer.
Yet also, he has an eye on the vulnerable – on you and me – and can be trusted
to reach out a steadying hand when we wobble, a saving arm when we fall.
Our situations may not be so dramatic, but God cares about
the detail and thinks of every life as precious. He is an amazing Father.
