Today was Day 277 of The Red Shoe Project. Once again, my RED shoes were securely fastened on my feet, but it was another strange day.
It was a QUIET day.
Yesterday was a day of talking with God. Today was a day of NO TALKING -- not with God -- and little to none with anyone else as well, including Pauly. I've puttered around taking care of a few little things here and there.
This old hymn has been on my mind all day:
"Great is Thy faithfulness,"
O God my Father,
There is no shadow
of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions they fail not;
As Thou has been
Thou forever wilt be.
Great is they faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see;
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided.
"Great is Thy faithfulness, "
Lord, unto me!
I love it when a song or scripture infiltrates my mind during times of quietness. God puts them there for a purpose. How appropriate these were for today.
Lamentations 3:22-26 says this...
Because of the Lord's great love
we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my
portion, therefore I will wait for him."
The Lord is good to those whose hope
is in him, to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly for the
salvation of the Lord."
I've learned over the years that when things get real quiet, Daddy's working... on my behalf.
Watching and waiting
-- QUIETLY --
in RED shoes,
Gail
