I wrote this two weeks ago when our move was a do or die situation. The soon to be owners, of our home, would not be happy if our stuff became their stuff!
Today I woke up feeling very overwhelmed. I know this heart of mine. I am weary! The moving of our earthly goods, forty plus years, is a massive undertaking. I am tired!
My feet hitting the floor, my Jabez prayer prayed as I made my bed…. coffee, yes, a cup of coffee. Then a couple of things done, and I knew, if I did not take time, GOD’S TIME, my day would continue to feel overwhelming. I heard the sweet whisper, “Donna, you cannot handle today without me!” So, I cradled my bible, another cup of coffee in hand, and take a seat by my beautiful pool.
My scheduled reading was Psalm 130-131. Very thankful that God hears my SOS. Compared to what David was facing, my depths, my SOS, well there is no comparison. For me, I am not facing utter despair, but I am uncomfortable. Our move, even though we know this is right, there is still stress, unknowns, and times feeling as if the very breath is being sucked out of me. As God cared for the children of Israel, He also cares for me. MY SWEET JESUS CARES AND IS ATTENTIVE TO MY SOS.
He whispered to me, “Come sit at my feet.” And as David stated in Psalm 131:2, “I have stilled and quieted my soul.” David took the focus off self and focused on God’s HOPE, God’s UNFAILING LOVE, and that GOD KEEPS NO RECORD OF SIN. The sweet assurance that forgiveness is granted, and the hope of redemption as stated in Psalm 130 is filled to the brim and running over and David, amid his depths, stilled and quieted his soul.
Amazing, my circumstances of today have not changed but my perspective has. The sweet moments at my Father’s feet and I find rest. Imagine that!
