Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7
Stop walking forward.
Pause, just for a moment.
Sometimes we push forward, forgetting to look behind us.
To remember. To refocus. To pause.
While you’re stopped, look around.
What do you see?
There are little bits of glory all around you.
Bursts of God’s miracles in your life.
The awe of creation.
The miracle of life.
Things that make you smile, because God knows you.
Now look behind you.
Do you see God’s faithfulness over the years?
There’s a long line of proof God has walked with you.
Some of it is easy to see, other parts are not.
Looking back should re-anchor your feet as your heart fills with hope again.
Hope as you dwell within the promise of God’s continued faithfulness.
Now look forward.
Do you see the hills and valleys laid out before you?
Or maybe you see a mountain, and you’re not sure what waits beyond.
As you keep God’s faithfulness from the past in your heart, reach out and grab His hand.
You are surrounded by God and all He has done for you.
His faithfulness will remain as you continue to seek Him for your future.
Stop, notice, and remember.
As you reflect often, God will continually fill you with His goodness as you purpose to walk with Him alone.
You might face mountains.
You might face valleys.
But as you take God’s hand, remembering His complete faithfulness, you’ll confidently continue forward.
Why? Because God’s faithfulness is never-ending.
Pause. Notice. And keep moving forward with God.
