Surrounded By His Peace
"You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall." 2 Samuel 22:29,30
I was meditating on this verse recently. I've faced a number of different challenges in the past few weeks. None, thankfully, have involved scaling a wall! But some of them have felt like it!! I am so grateful how God has walked with me through each challenge. He has been constantly by my side, advising me, helping me, encouraging me, and strengthening me. I couldn't make it without Him.
In the midst of these challenges, we have had so many days with beautiful rainbows appearing. It is unusual - and there have been some stunning ones. I have taken each one as an opportunity to proclaim and thank the Lord for His promises. He is faithful.
Most days I see the peacocks walking by on the mountain behind me. Today they were inside my fence in my driveway and garden. That doesn't happen very often. They came in and laid down as if needing a rest. As I watched them, I felt the Lord speak into my heart that I am surrounded by His peace. That's why they were immediately laying down to rest. It was a sweet moment.
I absolutely love how God speaks to me so often through nature - His creation. His messages come through loud and clear if I just stop to listen. I'm so grateful for His voice.

I'm watching and listening for ways God wants to speak to me - especially through His creation.
