Reaching for the quiet pulls us to peace

Monday Word

What is your usual routine when you wake up in the morning? Do you rush for your phone, a cup of coffee, both?
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message, a great reminder that when we reach for Him first, we won’t be last.
 
In the early morning
I find you
In the quiet of the garden
You are there
All around
Your presence draws near
 
No performance
No recited prayer
Just a moment
A breath
A conversation
and rest
 
Resting in knowing
That You, my God
My Guide
Are All Knowing
All Powerful
All Truth
 
Nothing I do
Can ever make me enough for You
But I am
Enough
For You to reach down and touch
 
In moments where I feel I need to be everything from point A to point B
You see
You see the perfectionist tendencies
and gently remind me
To just be
 
To be still
To move
To know that no two days will ever be the same
And that’s okay
 
Because in those sweet quiet morning hours
In the afternoon when the sun beams shower
In the evening with the slowdown of living
You are there
 
No performance
No plan
No perfection
Could withstand
The power of Your grace
and the favor of Your love
 
As the dew melts away
From the heat of the sun
 
There you are
 
Like a dove
Bringing back the promise of new land
Your face hidden no more
My God, My friend
 
“Neither will I hide my face anymore from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord.” - Ezekiel 39:29
