On our way to these mountains.
A dark night of the soul within.
A great joy of the day without.
Confusion. Sadness. Aloneness.
Yet, I am doing really fine because
my God holds me tight.
He is my main stay.
He is working
on my
behalf.
Illuminating my path.
In those dark nights of the soul, those 3:00am awakenings, it is God visiting my soul by darkness, by night. Psa 17:3 In those dark nights of the soul, we will be satisfied with Your Likeness when we awake. As for me... Awake, o my soul! Psa 17:15. What would it mean to behold your Face in righteousness in the midst of these thoughts that I hold. My world is crumbling and my God will so hold me together and all that concerns me.
The LORD was/is my stay.
He brought me forth into a broad place where I can stand without having to wonder. He rescued me because He delights in me---maybe my world does not, He does! And I believe that! Psa 18:19
My God is illuminating all of my darkness. Psa 18:29. I may not see a lot happening this very day but as I reflect back, so much has changed. Change takes time. Doesn't happen overnight. My dark patches, incomprehensible shadows will be made clear, one day. Until then, I trust smack dab in the middle of confusion, disconcerting news, and a world that has no place for me. But I am here to live, to love, to give, to move. I no longer need my world to come through for me. ~ Acts 20:24 ~
God fills us all. Fills all those empty spaces. You know, He is looking for empty space today. John of the Cross said it this way: The Spirit of God cannot pass a soul with empty places without filling it with Himself. Search and find Him---He is here.
PRAYER FROM PSALMS
Thank you, God, for fulfilling Your purpose for me and my little life. Your Steadfast Love, O LORD, endures forever when my world no longer endures.
Amen and Amen!!! You said it exactly right...
