“Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, Lord. You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.”
Psalms 4:6-8 NLT
There is a place where God dwells, a place of love and peace. A place where we know ‘God has got this’, His love covers it all. This valley is not filled with agitating passion but peace and contentment.
I have just finished reading a book about an American woman who came to Nepal and did wonders for chidren without a home, and for abused women. She built a school, a women’s centre, a clinic and much more. However, she did it without the Lord. She touches on so many of His attributes but misses Him, and it is sad, because He would love her more than she could imagine.
We can make a world of our own and fashion it according to a worldly understandings of peace. However, when we lose someone we suffer terribly without His comfort. Understanding eternity through His eyes is a solace and an assurance of eternity with Him.
His eyes hold us, love us, keep us. His words bring life and calm. Amen!
