whispers By the water: Monday, October 26, 2014

By Elizabeth Cartier

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
    your judgments are like the great deep;
    man and beast you save, O Lord.

 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
 For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light do we see light.

Psalm 36:5-9 (ESV) 

What a great time I had  with the Lord that cool and windy day. The clouds put on a show as you see in the photo. Our God meets us where we are and shows us more of Himself in all of creation.
His love is so big, it extends to the heaven, who know how high that is?
And His faithfulness to the clouds, how good is He to us who seek Him!

 I want to encourage you to go out into nature and seek the Lord. Take the word of God with you and read it outloud, let your ears hear what the Loud is saying to you. Listen to His word, let it sink into your soul and spirit, wait on Him and listen. Give Him time. He is just waiting for you to come. He longs to commune with you, His beloved child.

The Lord met me that day  by the water and gave me a tune to sing His word back to Him.

 What a blessing it is to seek Him and find Him. How He loves to be found.
