Rest, child

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  Psalm 46:10


"Sit, let your soul rest;  discover more of Me as we sit together.  I've taken care of My glory, you don't need to worry about that right now.  There's a plan to make Me world famous that is already being played out.  Rest, child."  


His posture to me is one of standing, between me and the world.  He's taken me out of the craziness, if even for a brief time.  With His strong hand up, like a police officer directing traffic, he motions for the world to continue moving, for His plan to continue to be unfolded, but for me to sit and rest.  

He has plans for us, just us.  We're going to be together, He's going to care for me, refresh me.  He is full of refreshment. He isn't weak, He doesn't have a lack of anything.  He's caring for me, tending to my emptiness, filling me.

We're off in the woods, it's pleasant, the trees are green in the spring, it's a bit overcast with a rain-shower that's just gone through.  He's tending to everything as I rest.  He's making sustenance, caring for the camp site, protecting me from things that I don't even know are out there, things that want a piece of me.  He is my healer, my lover, my strong fortress, my redeemer, my living water, my comfort, and my hope.  

God is all of the things that I need; and right now, that much is clear.  I will continue to sit with him, to be still, to know, discover, and experience him.

Papa, God, you are everything that I need.  Thank you, thank you so much.  I love you.
