Do you not know?
Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of
the earth. He will not grow weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
Isaiah 40:28 (NIV)
When my two daughters were little and began to explore and climb there were times they would find themselves where they could not go forward or back. Ever the watchful parent I would quietly stand behind them to ensure they would not fall. They would inevitably say, “Daddy, please help me,” and I would rescue them from their plight. I never walked away to leave them in their predicament and fear to teach them a lesson. In my own life’s predicaments and fears, neither has Christ.
Remember the saying, “When you reach
the end of your rope tie a knot in it and hang on”? That sounds more like an
experiment in white-knuckling desperation with no daddy standing by.
When you reach the end of your rope and admit your helplessness you have moved where He wants you. When you are there, you are in His perfect will for your life and where He works perfectly for you. As the Everlasting Father, His ways are perfectly tailored to you and your needs.
I have had answers that were not what
I had prayed for, and some answers that were a disappointment, but His love for
me never failed and He never left me hanging to teach me a lesson. At
times in my past when I thought, “Hey, Lord, this situation has gone on way too
long. Where are You and why are you not doing something?” His patient and
loving reply has always been reassuring: “I’m untying this knot at the end of
your rope. Don’t worry, I have not grown weary of you or your situation. My
understanding is something you cannot fathom and I am taking care of this for
you to your highest good.”
He who created the ends of the earth can
certainly take care of the end of your rope.

¿No lo sabes? ¿No lo has oído? El Señor es el Dios eterno, el Creador de
los confines de la tierra. No se cansará, y nadie puede comprender su
entendimiento. Isaías 40:28 (NVI)
El nudo al final de la cuerda
¿Recuerdas el dicho: "Cuando llegues al final de tu cuerda, haz un
nudo en ella y agárrate"? Eso suena más como un experimento de
desesperación sin papá a la vista.
Cuando llegas al final de tu cuerda y admites tu impotencia, te has movido a donde Él quiere que estés. Cuando estás allí, estás en Su perfecta voluntad para tu vida y donde Él obra perfectamente para ti. Como el Padre Eterno, Sus caminos se adaptan perfectamente a ti y a tus necesidades.
He tenido respuestas que no eran por las que había orado, y algunas
respuestas que fueron una decepción, pero Su amor por mí nunca falló y nunca me
dejó colgada para enseñarme una lección. A veces en mi pasado cuando pensaba:
"Oye, Señor, esta situación ha durado demasiado tiempo. ¿Dónde estás y por
qué no estás haciendo algo?" Su respuesta paciente y amorosa siempre ha
sido tranquilizadora: "Estoy desatando este nudo al final de tu cuerda. No
te preocupes, no me he cansado de ti ni de tu situación. Mi entendimiento es
algo que no puedes comprender y me estoy encargando de esto para ti para tu
mayor bien".
Aquel que creó los confines de la tierra ciertamente puede cuidar de la
punta de tu cuerda.
