Sometimes in our walk with God we reach a point where we have no requests, where we just want to relax a little and contemplate how much He loves us.
And our response to His amazing love is "Have your way!"
At these times we somehow understand the big picture-we see so clearly that all of creation worships at His feet. And we want to do the same. We do not question His leading, we do not doubt His perfect will. We know that He will take care of our every need. We know that nothing happens by chance. We know that everything will somehow work out in the end.
And with that confidence and assurance we step out boldly into the unknown. As surely as the sun rises and sets in our part of the world, we know that we can count on Him to complete His work in us.
That assurance brings us peace and comfort even in the midst of trials and tribulations. And so we go forward in His name, claiming his wondrous promises, conquering our fears,and making huge strides in our spiritual journey.
We celebrate these times when they come, and we do not take them for granted. They are the occasional oasis in our desert experience. Soon we begin to understand more and more, and we begin to make wiser choices that lead to streams, and more frequent rest stops.
We make less haste, calm takes the place of anxiety, and earth becomes a heavenly experience, an abiding. We dwell in the presence of the most High. May that mountaintop experience be yours today-it begins when we decide to let God have His way!
