There are days, when regardless of the circumstances of life, you feel God’s loving embrace. You snuggle up in fellowship with reverence, thankful for forgiveness and hopefulness—praising Him for what isn’t as though it was. In Acts 13:22, we’re told that David was a man after God’s own heart. You wonder, “Is this how David felt?” You consider… “What is this that the sovereign God should be mindful of little O’ me?”
Then you remember… Matthew 10:29-31 tells us that we’re in our Father’s care. He is so mindful of us that He knows the very number of hairs on our heads. And we need not be afraid because we’re precious to Him. We’re God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2: 10).
So, you revel in God’s grace and mercy. Gazing up at a beautiful blue sky… you desire to be like David… Knowing that David was:
- Kind—2 Samuel 9:3
- Humble—Psalm 62:9
- Reverent—Psalm 18:3
- Respectful—Psalm 31:9
- Trusting—Psalm 27:1
- Loving—Psalm 18:1
- Devoted—Psalm 4:7
- Grateful—Psalm 9:1
- Faithful—Psalm 23:6
- Obedient—Psalm 119:34
- Repentant—Psalm 25:11
- Promise Keeper—1 Samuel 18:7
- Gracious—2 Samuel 9:7
As God swath’s you in His presence… you realize that you don’t have to feel God to know He’s there. You’re aware that you must live by faith (Romans 1:17), because it is impossible to please God without it (Hebrews 11:6). However, you leap for joy within your spirit because you feel the presence of God.
You take a deep breath, and be still (Psalms 46:10). Then you call His name… Jesus… Bless this day for the calmness of my soul (Acts 4:12).
God Bless… I am Wiley’s granddaughter.
