Reflection

This morning I was taking some time to just be quiet before God.  To sit, reflect, listen, and pray.  The last couple of days I’ve been fighting off a migraine – so quiet is good!  The verse that spoke to me this morning is from Deuteronomy 32:4 -

“He is the ROCK, his works are PERFECT, and ALL his ways are just.  A faithful God who does NO wrong, upright and just is he.”

I think I read through this verse 10 times to seriously ponder the words in my heart and hear what it’s saying. 

*God is my rock – there’s no one I turn to or talk through situations with more throughout each day than him.  Especially when I need steady..when I need reassurance..when I need peace. 

*His works are perfect and all his ways are just – Do I really truly believe that?  I’d like to say I do,  but there are definitely things I don’t understand.  Definitely times I question.  Most times I TRUST that the outcome will be perfect and looking back someday I will know God’s ways were just.  Sometimes in the middle of things, it’s hard to see that, but I try to TRUST in all circumstances for I know he has my back – he has my best interest in mind.

*A faithful God who does no wrong – Whoa!  God IS FAITHFUL!  I’ve seen that over and over again in my life and I’m so grateful.  Even in the midst of not understanding everything, I know God does NO wrong.. I know he makes NO mistakes.  Even when it doesn’t line up with my personal ideas or plans, I still lean on him.. through questions and uncertainties.. I still trust His ways are better than mine. 

Thank you God - for times of reflection, for times of refining, for times of revealing yourself.  As I sat in silence – I heard the clock ticking (time does not stand still), I saw the sunshine’s reflection on the floor coming through the window and heard the birds chirping (seasons change), and I felt my heart beating and heard myself breathe (life is precious).  All praise to my Creator King!
