Rooted - Day Eleven

June 11, 2022
Rooted

If, on the eve of Day Eleven,
I could catch a glimpse
too far into the future -
it would be just that -

TOO FAR.

When He says -
“My grace is sufficient for you…”
And gives me my daily bread …

I wonder just HOW KIND
is this God - I bow before?

That in HIS wisdom -

He doesn’t let me see
too far ahead…
He doesn’t let me call
all the shots…

He lets His higher ways -
Prepare my path…

He knows the highs and lows
Of what I will face…

He lets me partner
with His sovereignty
That I may become
More and more like Him…

He knows
He loves
He cares

To ask
To know
Too much…
Too far ahead…

Sets me up to fail -
And fall -
And stumble -
And crack -

It is:
To be
my own god -
And that will never end well…

And so tonight,
I rest SOUNDLY
in the knowledge…

That His ways are higher
than mine…
His thoughts are greater
than mine…
His imaginations are deeper
than mine…

And truly -

His love for me - by far
will always be greater
than my love for Him.

And He knows that…

And still He loves
And calls me His beloved…

I root myself, tonight
in HIS DELIGHT over me…

And JOY BUBBLES UP -
from deep within…

DEEP JOY
DEEP PEACE
DEEP REST

Rooted in Him.
The Cross of Christ my guide.
