I worry about what’s ahead, but I have a shepherd who prepares a table before me, so I wait, trust and see.
A friend recently sent a job offering to me.
It was to come to a town called Echuca in Victoria Australia and be a snake catcher.
Yes, you read it right. Snake catcher.
My friend works in a local school as a caretaker and part of his job is to make sure the school grounds and buildings are safe for the children.
So he regularly is on the lookout for snakes.
He clears away areas that snakes might want to live in. Nets and fences are installed to stop snakes from entering the school grounds.
He prepares a safe place for little children.
I like this illustration. It’s a picture of providential care.
Have you ever had someone prepare somewhere safe for you?
Say you are going to visit Aunt Mildred and you’re going to stay the night.
She will most likely prepare in advance.
She may make the bed, prepare some food, and get rid of any snakes! (especially if you live in Australia)
When you arrive, you are welcomed into what they have prepared. You may feel a little embarrassed by the fuss they have put into this welcome.
But you feel cared for, loved, and welcomed. 🔔 Subscribe to empower your mental health through faith, hope and love.
