Like a River


Have you ever just sat and watched a river? It's very self-reflective when you think about it. When still, it shows exactly what's around with almost succinct clarity. It's peaceful, beautiful, and the very image of refreshment. But all that's needed is a boat or a storm to rock its waters and send waves rippling, but yet that doesn't change the fact that it's a river - clear and unbroken. Think about it! When we are still and find peace in our lives, we can most clearly discern God's will, best do His bidding, and thus portray the image of Whom we were created in. Everything seems to fall into place from that moment and float on. But let a calamity or a drastic change strike and it rocks our stability, makes us question our direction, weakens our faith, and yet never changes who God made us to be and the beauty remaining in His creation, with the promise of it being being restored in full soon.
