2/365 2020 vision quest

there are days I am very aware of God's involvement in my life:

I feel Him

I plainly see His hand at work

and frankly, 

sometimes I am surprised by the intimacy we share

His lavish love 

His consistent care

His bountiful provision

His uncompromised protection

His perfect sovereignty

His patient work in me 

the good and beautiful things He does through me

and then there are the other days

like January 2,2020

that I know it all to be true,

I don't doubt any of it

but I'm just not "feeling" it

one of the wonders of my relationship with Him is this truth:

God's faithfulness does not depend on my feelings

He is always faithful,

ever with me, 

working in 

and for 

and through me,

even when I'm not aware of His presence,

and how I feel has no bearing on what He is doing

so when doubt 
or fear 
or heartache 
or anything else tries to erode my security in Him, 

focusing on the truth of His faithfulness,
rather than on my feelings,
untangles the lies,
restores peace and joy
and makes living by faith possible
