Today I saw the sun through a rabbit’s ears. Yesterday a spotted fawn crossed my trail. There is now an expectation at the park for all good things. Walking with God, I can glimpse the world through His supremacy and grace, all, including the adverse, perceived in his light.
My walks have taught me to hold this wherever I go and when I do, which is more and more often, I find God. And God is good, He exceeds expectations, always. Not every day will be bunny ears and spotted fawns but I ask that He show me His good things, in Jesus’ name.
Sometimes I am around people who don’t practice this. Sometimes I am the one not practicing this. In either case, I try to let it go. Negative talk, whosever it is, is not to stay in my mind or ears. Lord wash it away, Your Truth to stay.
On the morning after my son entered rehab, I was reeling in pain, relieved that he was getting help but frightened of what others would say. That freezing morning in January, I drove my youngest to school and noticed a couple of people staring as I went by. They must be talking about this already, I cringed. On the way back, two ladies, huddled together on a corner, looked up and pointed. I rushed home to hide and lick my wounds. Stepping out onto my driveway, I saw a large paper cup frozen to the top of my van. I burst into laughter at my delusion, instantly freed from care of what others thought or said. That cup was a wonderful gift from my Comforter. He has the final say. I listen for His voice over all others and wait for His Light to touch my ears.
These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. Jude 1:16
