Rest....the Lord is near.

..."For now we see in a mirror darkly, but then we shall see face to face". I know this doesn't make sense as a beginning statement, but I promise to explain. We have a 4 day weekend thanks to Ghana being independent. What better thing to do than to go to the beach?! So, a group of teachers went. It was so much fun. I did my quiet time out on the rocks yesterday morning where I saw this (above photo).

I saw it happen several times and was captivated every single time. As I continued to read, sing and watch, I thought how spectacular my God is. The Atlantic Ocean is powerful much more so than the Gulf of Mexico or the East Atlantic coast in America. God is powerful....yes an understatement. Yet, in all his power and greatness, He cares about me. He gives me these opportunities to see his power and reminds me through it that He is a God of detail and care. He desires an intimate relationship with me.

I am also seeing this through my reading of the One Year Bible. We are in Numbers right now. Most people steer clear of the first five books-the law books, but I love them. I think I have an idea of what David felt when he said "Oh how I love your law. I meditate on it day and night." I love the law! I love the detail, time and care God put into his people. What love! This is but a glimpse. "...then I shall see face to face." What will it be like to meet God who puts details, time and care into me?! Is it not exciting to think about?!! WOW!!
