as always
it's about believing
accepting
submitting
obedience
I believe
that where you are
there you are
I believe that I am in Christ
found deep within Him
dwelling in Him
abiding
John 15
and there is nowhere I can go
that He is not right here
"If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
even there
shall You hold me
even there shall Your hand lead me."
Psalm 139:9-10
I may feel
and act
crazy lately
I may feel threatened
and insignificant
scared
little
alone
hot
lazy
unmotivated
unaccomplished
but
He is still right here
with me
as always
never leaving
nor forsaking
"Behold, I am with you
and will keep you wherever you go..."
Genesis 28:15
"Be strong
and of good courage
do not fear
nor be afraid
for the Lord, your God
'He is the One who goes with you
He will not leave you nor forsake you.'
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong
and of good courage
do not be afraid
nor be dismayed
for the Lord your God
is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
and as much as we must be obedient
to the big things that present themselves in our lives
the calls
the challenges
the opporunities
we must also be obedient
to the silent
and quiet times
of stillness
times of refining
and preparation perhaps
it may feel inconvenient
inopportune
uncomforable
terrifying
but it is merely pruning
the fruit will surely come
like the cowardly lion on his way to Oz
my montra will be
"I do believe
I do believe...."
I entered...
life
marriage
parenting
all
"untrained"
unprepared
I must believe
I can enter whatever this next chapter life holds
just as good intentioned
and just as oblivious
as I began the last chapter
and everything will be just as richly blessed
as the great work of our marriage
and its greatest fruit, our children
have been....
