When a child of God is surrounded with worry, woe and trouble,
he can find comfort in knowing He has the One and Only God
to come to, cry out to and to look to.
We may rejoice and find satisfaction when reaching out to Him.
Submission
by looking and waiting
Look to Him ~ but at the same time ~ Look for Him
How many times have I not realized He was at work,
because I was not looking for HIM.
Depending
Knowing HE is going to work
Waiting
In His own way and in His own time.
The song by Casting Crowns
"I'll worship while I'm waiting"
comes to mind.
You might want to google & listen to it.
All may look bright above me,
when all is black around me. ~ Matthew Henry
Just some thoughts jotted down,
I pray you have a wonderful day worshipping
the One who is longing for fellowship!

I look forward to each Lord's Day, expecting to see His gifts and blessings while hearing, singing, and praying His word. Pray you will have a wonderful day tomorrow,Karen. :)
I am definately going to Goggle that song. I love Casting Crowns. Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us. So encouraging!
It looks like the Lord took us down a similar path this week. Your photo with the bleakness from the withered leaves reminds me of my post with the crumpled leaves from our frost-bitten citrus trees.
Hope you have a joy-filled day and stop by for a visit.
Blessings,
Janis
Beautiful post!
Happy new week dear Karen,kisses.
Hi Karen...this sort of goes with what I posted. I've learned He always comes through...never lets us down...but usually there is a wait...Have a great Sunday.
I love everything from Casting Crowns...they bring me into the throne room. Words from one of their songs says, "deep water faith in the shallow end"...it so spoke to me when I wondered why my faith seemed so small..well when I thought I had great faith I was in shallow water. Our pastor, who is battling cancer, said last night, I know God has healed me, but when the doctors continue to tell me I will die from this my faith weakens and I cry out God strengthen my faith. We all go in and out of the waiting room. May you meet Him there in a new way.
Blessings and thanks for sharing.
Sometimes we get so concerned with life's troubles,
we forget to look to Him.
Thank you for a wonderful post!

Beautiful thoughts this Sunday morning, Karen. Bless you
Wonderful insights - "How many times have I not realized He was at work..." Oh how I wish this were not true of me, but it is. I am touched by your post and words.
wonderful post! Have a Blessed week.
Beautiful, Karen!
Thank you.
The older I get the more I realize how often God is next to me.
Blessings,

Karen, your photo is very, very nice. I love the Scripture you chose for it. Very nice reflection of "keeping watch."
Blessings,
Christine
Simply LOVELY!
Beautiful thoughts, Karen.
I have not heard that song. I am going to google it right now.
Love the worship while I am waiting. For years I lived life on hold -- waiting for all to be good -- not realizing that truly living means embracing the now, worshiping, and praising.
Excellent post full of truth!
I love your thoughts. Have a beautiful day.
Thank you for sharing these insightful thoughts.
Blessings,
Charlotte
