I lose heart when I forget to look for the goodness of the Lord.
I get so near-sighted and so focused on the here and now and on myself that I lose sight of GOD,
His holiness
His call on my life.
But when I forget …
He will realign my thinking from a safe place.
A place where not too many others can reach me.
A place with tremendous perspective.
A place prepared for just that purpose.
He won't hide me and leave me, but He will hide with me.
If I let Him …
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13)
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. (Psalm 27:5)
Realignment actually reminds me of my Wii Fit Plus yoga. "Kris" calmly says certain poses will "realign your spine (or pelvis, etc.)" and so I get that kinda calm, going back and just relaxing, letting God take care of things in that sense.
You also get the sense of a haven. A vacation all most. Realignment is a vacation to just get back in touch with God and bringing yourself back to what you used to know but forgot for some reason.
This was a great post, thanks!
