It was a beautiful evening. There was a gentle breeze and the sky was filled with the hazy colors of dusk. Swallows were swooping and dipping in their evening aerobatics. I was filled with a sense of peace as I gazed at the purple tinted hills. I breathed the fragrant air in …… and out.
I think these moments are a special gift from God. In the midst of hurt, problems and struggle we are given these moments to remind us that God is still on his throne and is still in control.
These past months I have struggled to find a sense of balance in my life. So often I have felt like I am hanging on to the edge of the cliff by my fingertips. Moments like tonight, gives me a renewed sense of purpose and peace.
So I will let this peace quiet my fears, soften the edges of my grief and give me comfort. I will accept this moment as the gift it is.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber Psalm 121:1-3
