abide.

There are certain days when God just abides - when His peace bursts forth like a river and His presence is heavy and strong.

I do not think it a coincidence that those days generally follow times of struggle - times when I have felt

tired,
spent,
and broken.

Today, as I resided behind a shield of unexplainable stillness and peace, I was reminded that I serve a God who intimately knows my needs, who allows me to face only what I can bear, and who loves me with a depth that I have not even begun to understand.

Today, I rested in grace.

And for that, LORD, I am grateful.

Thank you.
