"God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform."
- William Cowper
God has shown himself to me this week. I've spent hours alone reading, writing, journaling, reflecting, and praying - spending some intimate time with God. I've begun to notice little quirks about me (or habits?) here and there that seemed inexplicable at first; I figured it was just who I was; however, God's opening my eyes to a new reality and a new way of thinking that takes me OUT of the spotlight. It's really not about me at all, so why am I putting myself as the center of attention?
While I felt hopeless, God provided. When I was confused and wanted direction in my life, he gave me understanding and wisdom. When I was filled with bitterness and resentment, he calmed the storm in my heart and taught me forgiveness. While I was sick, he gave me comfort and healing.
He's shown me all of these this week. He's shown me all throughout my life, I just failed to see it some of the times. I couldn't hear his still small voice because I was so consumed with taking matters into my own hands. But time and time again, he speaks to me.
Do my will, beloved. I drew you up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set your feet upon the rock.
He's been there this whole time.
