with us.

Today?

Rest.

Storms blew through here last night,

and so this morning,

we wake with eyes half-opened. 

Tired.

With things to do. 

But...

I want to be sure not to be so tired

that I miss what God has in store.

So, today?

Maybe today you and I can walk the road He has for us

in a restful way.

Not worrying.

Or fretting.

Or panicking

(although I'm really good at all three).

Maybe today,

we breathe.

And notice

and stop 

even if only for a moment

to remember the space 

that God has placed us in.

Because wherever we find ourselves today,

God is there.

With us. 

Always.

Have I not commanded you? 

Be strong and courageous. 

Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, 

for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.  

~Joshua 1:9

For I am sure that neither death nor life, 

nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, 

nor powers, nor height nor depth, 

nor anything else in all creation, 

will be able to separate us 

from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

~Romans 8:38-39

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, 

what you will eat or what you will drink, 

nor about your body, what you will put on. 

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: 

they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, 

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 

Are you not of more value than they?

 And which of you by being anxious 

can add a single hour to his span of life? 

And why are you anxious about clothing? 

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: 

they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you,

 even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ~Matthew 6:25-34

Many blessings,

Deni
