Day 67
-some things we will never understand . . .
Sometimes it is imperative simply to rest in what is happening today and not worry about the future – or about comprehending the reasons for the way things are . . .
Blessedness is indeed promised to those who seek the Lord, but the key lies in the seeking.
That means to study and pray, to search and wait, to worship and serve – even to be tested, to struggle and suffer.
Such disciplines of mind and spirit are often hard . . .
In those times especially we are invited to cling to this promise:
“Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.”
In believing that statement to be true we find the contentment to accept whatever blessings are or are not in our lives . . .
Sometimes we will be able to taste and see how good God is, but true maturity of faith will recognize His love even though from a human perspective we might lack good things.
-Marva J. Dawn – I’m Lonely Lord
Lord, the habits formed over 55 years are hard to break.
I find myself hurrying home – and then remember – he isn’t here.
I miss him so.
I thank You for filling the empty place in my heart.
I thank You for the music that soothes my hurt.
I thank You!
