Abundance

click on "Foster" on the right side of the page to read his reflections on silence...great stuff.

Somedays are sort of hard...then the Spirit leads you to words that comfort, words that remind you to live with joy and urgency. Yesterday these were those words for me:

"Praise our God...he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you O God tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance." Psalm 66:8-12

Being refined and reformed into the image of Christ isn't always easy and can be painful at times; treading through fire or darkness isn't pleasant; yet I'm comforted knowing that the Lord has promised to bring us to a place of abuncance. A place in abundance of Him and his mercy; a place lacking in worry and fear.

O Lord would you bring us all to that place each day.
