Day 142

Revealed Sovereignty

Beyond the doubt, beyond the fear
There’s a moment when glory exists so near
The world moves to the beat of light
Always turning, always yearning for a fight

But in His Hand is calming peace
The love we want but seen as the least
If only we were to look we would find that place
Love magnified by sovereign grace

So just drive on Summer, heat on our face
Head towards the sun until it ends
It’s there the darkness bends
And I’ll meet You at the river

Defeated, I search desperately
Hope hunting me, reverently
The quicker I look, the quicker I’ll find
The love that I’ve wanted has always been mine

So just drive on Summer, the heat on my face,
Head towards the sun until it ends
It’s there the darkness bends
And I’ll meet You at the river

And as the stars kiss the sun adieu
I see all that You are, all the beauty in You
Met You at the river as the sun came to an end
I watched Your Hand as it bid darkness to bend

At the big river, broken, I came to You
Watching the shimmers of radiant blue
I drove on Summer toward the sun
My heart, willingly, gratefully, betrothed to Your Son


I’ve been spending more time downtown lately, and each moment spent in the reflection of His creation just moves my soul.  Watching the sun dip beneath the earth, and as each tiny light sprinkles the indigo evening, I just think how great is our God that every moment is a piece of unrepeatable art.

Every day, God has continued to take my breath away.  Through the pain, through answered prayers, through understanding, I feel Him in everything.  This pulse I have is directly connected to Him and I’ve been reminded so much lately that I am His.

A few nights ago, I filled this blank screen with prayers.   The pages of my journals are littered with desperate scrawlings, calling out to God.  And it’s as I sit here tonight, reflecting, that I give thanks to a God who is not slow to answer.  I’m thankful for His timing and His faithfulness.

I am thankful for His precision.

I am ever more assured that I have a God who loves, who never leaves, who fights, who is unfailing and loves to love His children.


God, I am so sorry for the days and nights I overlook You.  I am so grateful for the last week, and how You’ve taken me from there to here.  I thank You for each sunset, for every attempt You’ve ever made to break into my heart.  I am so sorry for having turned away.  I pray that I see You in everything, in the every day, and that Your love remains clear and crisp now so that if it is ever muted I can be reassured that even though I may not hear You or see You that I will still feel You.  Let me never walk without You or away from You.
