“Now then, take for yourselves
twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe. And it shall come about when the soles of the
feet of the priest who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth,
shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut
off, and the waters which are flowing down from above shall stand in one heap.’” Joshua 3:9-13
Once
we’re saved our perspective changes...we see things from different “angles” and
notice things we’ve not noticed before.
You know, those “little miracles” of God’s perfect timing, the lost
letter, the coincidence or the arrival of a person at your door that you need
to spend time with. The “little”
miracles that make our early walk seem so alive. God really SEEMS to be everywhere, palpable,
close, intimate. Life sometimes squeezes
that perspective from us with all its demands and dangers...what can we do?
“Create in me a clean heart, O
God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Thy presence, and do not take Thy Holy Spirit
from me. Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation,
and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners will be converted
to Thee.”
Psalm 51:10-12
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
