We are always
hidden in the hollow of His hand.
It just doesn't always feel
like it.
Because you feel like you
are unprotected in a violent storm, it is easy to act as though
it is true.
But it isn't.
It isn't true because He guaranteed
that He would never desert his own.
It isn't true because He said as
soon as we call He is rushing to rescue.
He is our High Tower and the Lifter
of our head, and He is never any different.
We must learn to think and walk
and speak according to what He has said and not according to
the things that are around us by sight.
It is a rare, rare experience to
be in the company of a Soldier of the Cross who has determined
to behave inside and out according to Truth rather than accurate
human observation of what is going on.
Oh Lord
Jesus, lead us into heaven's brokenness instead of human crumbling.
Do the deepest work in order to bring about the likeness in us
of the One who is the Bright and Morning Star.
Yes, Lord, we stand before you
and plead for heaven's refinement, knowing it comes at a great
cost - all. I want so much Lord to be a real living sacrifice
and to learn to leave my travel bags behind.
I trust you. Please Lord, less
of me and more of You.
