A Silent Conversation

I love to walk with God and listen for His voice. As I’ve grown older and life has slowed down, I’ve come to stop and appreciate seeing Him through His creation. As I walk along a farmer’s field, I’m reminded of His provision in the golden wheat that I see, it waves to me in the wind as if the Lord is saying, “Here I am.” I pause and take a moment and thank Him.

When I sit near the beach looking at and listening to the rhythm of the gentle waves, I think of the Lord’s consistency. He is there with me, through the ebb and flow of life. His love is steadfast and never ending. He tells me that He is with me, even to the ends of the earth. I am forever grateful.

Many days I sit at the back of our property and gaze upon a magnificent sunset. What a sight…an Artist stroking his paintbrush across the heavens, using a palette of many colors. His faithfulness stretches to the sky! Oh, how He has been faithful to me, even when I am not faithful to Him. I pray that I can have unconditional love like that.

An eagle flies over, using his keen eyesight to search for his prey. I watch the eagle, circling and searching. God searches the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. I bow my head and say a prayer, “Lord, help me to have a loyal heart toward You.”

I ponder on the way my Maker has designed the eagle’s precise vision and I am amazed. Every creature that He has designed is exact in its own way. The Word tells me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, in God’s image. I have a purpose, and that is to glorify Him. I turn my heart to worship Him.

He is worthy.
