when i consider Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You've ordained...who am i???

i was driving home last night from nashville and it was about 1:30 in the morning. i was listening to some worship music and looked up into the pitch black clear sky, filled with stars and the largeness and control of God over this world seemed so easy. what could i possibly worry about that the God who made all of this would even have a problem with? and on top of that He loves me with everything in Him! i am His son. He is my Father. i am my Beloved's and He is mine!

i was at a church a couple weeks ago and the pastor described faith as the belief during the absence of the promise. to believe that the promise is still true when there are no signs of it. to know that when i don't feel Him, He is still IN me and gazing upon me. the other day the Lord showed me that when we repent it is like the widowed woman who lost her son. He sees us broken and in need and He is moved with compassion, maybe even to tears, when we turn to Him.

"Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy." - Micah 7:18

to walk in the cool of the day with You...
