I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the
Most High God has worked for me.
Daniel 4:2 (NKJV)
As I wondered what the Lord would have me post for the ending of this year. I was perplexed , nothing was coming to my mind. This year has been full of many Ups and Downs, Signs and Wonders,. And did I say “many”?
Reflecting back on the photos I have taken this past month with all the family and festivities. I was drawing a “blank”.
But as the Lord always does, if………….. “I seek Him”.
He is always willing to show me….
And as I headed downstairs for this morning “cup of coffee”.
I looked out the window located at the top of my stairs and what a sight I did see……….
One of our stray cats resting . Not just ordinarily resting, but way up “out on a limb” resting and enjoying the warm sunshine.
Now there’s a sight ! Should I call out the “Fire Department”? (no this is Meigs County someone would probably just shoot her down.)
Should I panic? (she looks pretty peaceful.)
Is she in distress? (does she know how high up she is?)
Why do we question “everything”?
What should I do?
Answer: Go and get my camera.
So through the (not so clean) glass window I took this photo. I continue to be amazed at how the Lord will get my attention.
3 How great are His signs,
And how mighty His wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And His dominion is from generation to generation.
While seeing is not always believing, I wish that this past year I could share with all of you that my faith has always remained high. But the facts are, that the Lord had to continually remind me if I only had “ faith the size of a mustard seed”.
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
But just like seeing this cat “out on a limb” a certain amount of panic can over come us even among His amazing Signs and Wonders.
Especially when we are not “Resting” in the Lord . We seem to focus on all of our what ifs and distresses instead of focusing in on His Great Hands of Mercy.
And it bears repeating again:
13 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
So as this year comes to a close this final photo for 2008 pretty much says exactly where we are. With all my questions of what and why.
Barry and I begin 2009
Out on a Limb, Resting in Him………
Happy New Year !!
