Grace Abounds

I wish my heart was as calm as this picture!

Woke up today wondering. I haven't heard from Tim since Sunday, which is not too long, but he had an appointment that was very important on Monday. I am just so curious to what is going on. I knew i needed to get out of bed and start my day, but I couldnt...just ten minutes longer. I am trying not to worry but I am. I know God is in control, but being the "go getter" I am, it is very hard to just sit back and wait. I miss Tim, but I know why he is there, so I am waiting for the Lord's time. My studies this week will be in Psalm 27 so that should grant me some comfort that no matter what I did, who I am, where I am from, the Lord is still faithful. The verse I am trying to remember this week is,

"Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, "Seek His face!" Your face Lord I will seek." Psalm 27: 7-8

I wonder though, why is that verse so hard lived? Why is it so much easier to worry and pace around than to seek HIS face. I think once again it is those ignorant little things called pride and fear. Why is it that we honestly think we can do this better? Why do we think that he is not going to work? I have always struggled in understanding grace. Growing up we worked for what we got and my dad has always stressed that and it is something that I cherish and I am thankful for. I know that the Lord gives gracefully, mercifully, and without reproof. So, who am I to think that he would do that for everyone but me? I am his child, so not by a long shot. I do not want to do that. I want to show obediance and humility to let the Lord work in the way he pleases. When my flesh may fail he will not fail me. I pray today brings on good things and a peace from the Lord. I really need that peace today!
