one morning was sufficient
One good morning of rest, prayer and thought was enough to remind me of God’s never changing attributes, grounding me to view the issues at hand through His perspective. A good amount of time spent reflecting on His word, helped me realize that He is indeed good. but more than that, He showed me how insufficient and weak I was, causing me to turn back and rely on His strength so that He can show me grace. I am reminded; that to continue I must rely on Him because He is far stronger than I am.
It does not mean that the complications and issues made known are instantly resolved or solved with just one morning of solitude. They linger around for longer that I can expect, but it is such a great privilege to just sit at His feet meditating upon His word and praying- all on the comforts of my lovely bed. & being reminded tonight that it is such a privilege to be able to be involved in the lives of others was timely.
Thank God for all His gracious provision: be it in the form of utmost care, concern and timely advice from loving sisters-in-christ, speaking to me through His word & being refreshed!, being able to get good rest for half a day and for listening to my prayers. He is ever faithful.
and it does not end here. Even as I lay my prayers, concerns and requests at His feet, I am excited to watch Him work because He works in the most marvellous ways- & I am just waiting to see Him move. :]
