5 Minute Friday- Middle


This is another 5 Minute Friday. You can read more about it at Kate Motaung. Today's word is "middle." 

This morning when I saw what the writing prompt was, I thought of the saying "between a rock and a hard place." I felt like I was between two hard places in several situations in my life. But then, God reminded me of Moses and the children of Israel. They were between a rock and a hard place or more specifically, Pharaoh and the Egyptian army and the Red Sea. Can you imagine the trepidation, fear and sheer panic; especially for those with children?  It made my "middle" seem like a walk in the park, but it reminded me that no matter where we are, God is there. He IS a very present help in the time of trouble. He is right there in the middle of our pain, grief sorrow, joy and gladness. He is the All-Sufficient One! He promises to carry us through the middle.

  1. Oh I feel like a rock in a hard place too this new year! There are so many big decisions, big prayers, and big concerns. One day at a time. Thankful the ROCK is with us in these hard places. :) Jenn FMF Neighbor

  3. I love the reassurance that even when we are in a hard place God is our Rock and he is with us in the middle of it all. Visiting from FMF.
