God never ceases to amaze me.
I haven’t written anything in awhile… I’ve been somewhat preoccupied with other things. In fact the last time I did write was on my birthday, and even then I had nothing really special to discuss.
Today I felt the presence of God so deeply I was incredibly moved.
There are days when for no reason at all He shines His love on me in unique and personable ways, and maybe this is an everyday occurrence I just get to selfish and bogged down with things that are of this world that I forget to even look up from the rat race that I’m running.
I forget to stop and smell the roses, or as the case was today thank Him for the Irises.
I love hymns so often times God brings lyrics back to me and in the search of the lyrics to The Lily of the Valley (He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.)
He reminded me of this one:
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed,
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin;
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
-Carl Boberg
God told me more than once today that He cared for me and for my needs, but especially that He loved me.
And you know what?
It was the best feeling in the world.
To truly trust that He has it all under control, any worry that I have about my life…. It's in His hands.
Simply Peaceful.
I'm still reading orthodoxy...I have to analyze each paragraph... it's good.
