Be still

I took a nice long walk this morning, talking to God. Thankful for blessings, amazed over answers to prayer and frustrated that some issues continue… after years.

I thought of the prodigal son‘s father- watching, waiting. I think most parents understand. I thought of that one lost lamb who didn’t come to the pen when the others were gathered. Where was he? How did he get separated?

I thought of the Great Shepherd setting out to look. Leaving His 99 corralled behind. I thought of Him finding and carrying that little one home on His strong shoulders. I thought Him watching me now, as I walked along.

His eyes always see.

I listened to Psalms on audio and was astounded again how the writers knew just how I feel. Their words spoke for me -today. God was near and He understood. He had heard it all before, He was not amazed. He understands. He knows me.

I can trust. Blessings, frustrations, lost sheep, and prodigal children. I am His. Be still and know, He is in control.
