Siting in rainy Zagreb (pic is from sunny Zagreb) in solitude (much needed after the last 7 days I might add), I have been encouraged through soaking up extra Scripture as part of my sabbath (aka day off).

I’m reminded of how great God is. I’m reminded how trustworthy is His sovereign hand.

These reminders come as I sit with my Heavenly Father and dwell on His excellent word.

As I look back, as I see how He orchestrated events beyond my ability to predict, I sit amazed at Him, His greatness and His love.

Love that is steady, because His love does not waiver based on circumstances or reciprocal love. His love is without manipulation or self serving. He loves.

These I know from His word and from my experience of Him.

How great is God, the Father, Son and Spirit.

Thanks be to God!

He is steady like the waves… we can rely on Him!

As part of training the heart and mind, it is helpful to dwell on God as our heads hit our pillows. Contemplating His greatness, speaking praise to His name. Then in the middle of the night do the same, upon awaking, praying ourself back to sleep as a child in the lap of a loving Father.

“My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63:5-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Then, as the day dawns, our training bears fruit… thinking and praising Him as we awake.

Aim at Heaven y’all!
