FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life
When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,
That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
There have only been one set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."
This poem is always in my head. I just love the thought. But this poem probably came from this idea...
Psalm 68:19
New Living Translation (NLT)
19 Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
For each day he carries us in his arms.
For each day he carries us in his arms.
