About Benjamin he said: “Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.”
—Deuteronomy 33:12
Today I have every reason to be stressed. To doubt my future and wonder how I will be feeding them this week. But instead I cling to Him. God of the impossible. I pray and trust and claim blessings. And know that I'm taken care of. God, You are Master of the universe. All resources belong to You and You choose how to give them. Bills are due. Yet you will deliver.
I have so much to be grateful for. Beautiful life full of joy because you have freed me. My purpose is to glorify you. To love you.
How awesome is it that you carry us and shield us. That we get to rest in you. On You. Oh God. My love for You is endless. My adoration for you is abounding. Why do I ever doubt and why does my faith falter? I get caught up in the "that must be nice" instead of "not our time yet". Yet. He promised that seasons do not last forever. Just as the cool fall breeze gives relief from the summer heat, so You give relief and take us to another more fruitful and abundant season.
My desire is to desire You over all. To not start my day until I speak to You. To dig into Your word and to be empty of mr only to be filled with You. As I poured out the old wilted flowers and put fresh ones in the vase, I had to empty the yuck brown water and replace it with fresh pure water. So we must empty to fill.
And I'm filled and I'm overflowing. And the seagulls are flying over and salty sea air blowing in the new.
