I have two framed photographs on my bedside table. One of me and my husband from years ago, and the other is a recent one of me and my children. I look at them daily. But when I gazed at them the other day, before closing my eyes, a thought came to my mind…“I’ve got your back.”
I had to giggle when I realized that I am positioned the same way in both photos, on the backs of my man (Tim) and my eldest child (Hunter). (I know…child? He is a grown man.)
My children may rephrase that statement and say that at times I am “on their backs”. True. I am their mother. Yet, more importantly, I’ve GOT their backs. Don’t mess with my babies! The same thing goes for my man too…Don’t mess with my man!
There is a parent who I call The Ultimate Parent. I know that He has my back at all times. He is my judge, leader, and King of all kings. He cares for, provides, loves, and saves me. He’s “got my back”. His name is God.
For the Lord is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us. Isaiah 33:22
Yes, there are multiple times when He has been “on” my back, but I sure needed His guidance, wisdom, and discipline.
I’m grateful for the times that God is “on” my back, and I am confident that He “has” my back as well.
Have a wonderful day.
I pray that you will enjoy soaking up THE SON every moment of each day. –Stephanie

I love reading your blog. This one hit home! Tyler “leaves” in three days for college, but he knows I’ve always got his back, just like he’s always got a home to come home to! Hope you are doing well!!!
Ahh, thanks for reading, Diane. Tyler will be successful in college. You’ve provided him with the foundation of a solid relationship with God. Will he be challenged and have struggles? Yep! But God’s got his back. Be strong.
