Bow the Knee

There are moments on our journey following the Lord

Where God illumines ev’ry step we take.

There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,

As we try to understand each move He makes.

When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

*Bow the knee;

Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.

Bow the knee;

Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.

And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,

In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,

The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.

And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;

We are tempted to believe God does not know.

When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Tonight I didn't capture it in photograph, but captured it in my heart.  In the distance, pink fades into blue over the snow capped Sierra Nevada mountains as night falls and the sacred hours of the Sabbath begins and that special peace is poured settles over our hearts and lives.  My heart is filled with happy anticipation of the next twenty four hours which I have been given to spend with my family and my Creator -  who blessed these hours and declared them holy and who simply askes us to Remember them...it's all joy and blessing.  May you pause to ponder this gift from your Creator and linger long enough to experience for yourself the peace and joy this Sabbath.
