He Knows Us
Do you also go through times where you feel you have nothing to really say...that's how I feel today...but the last paragraph of the reading below from Streams in the Desert was really encouraging to me.
Last Sunday morning I rushed out to see if I could capture the sun rising as I look across the farm on the campus I live on toward the Sierra Nevada mountains...this is one of the moments that I was able to capture...truly there is nothing more beautiful than His creation.
I am glad for the blessed hours of the Sabbath...may your day be blessed.Enjoy the reading...
He Knows Us
God wants people that He can depend upon. He could say of Abraham, "I know him, that he will command his children . . . that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken." God can be depended upon; He wants us to be just as decided, as reliable, as stable. This is just what faith means.
God is looking for men on whom He can put the weight of all His love and power and faithful promises. God's engines are strong enough to draw any weight we attach to them. Unfortunately the cable which we fasten to the engine is often too weak to hold the weight of our prayer; therefore God is drilling us, disciplining us to stability and certainty in the life of faith. Let us learn our lessons and stand fast. --A. B. Simpson
God knows that you can stand that trial; He would not give it to you if you could not. It is His trust in you that explains the trials of life, however bitter they may be. God knows our strength, and He measures it to the last inch; and a trial was never given to any man that was greater than that man's strength, through God, to bear it.
Share with me how He has been your strength recently…

I'm so grateful He knows.
We've been in transition and upheaval for over 4 years now, which have included some terrible tragedy and loss. He is faithful. Even in the times when He seems silent, His grace is sustaining, as we cling to Him.
"He knows us" .... and He knows us intimately. Imagine, He knows the very number of hairs on our head!
The picture you took is lovely. "The heavens declare the glory of God"
I hope you have peaceful and restful Sabbath.
