Spring
is a lovely time to visit Flagstaff, AZ.
The air is still cool and the snow capped San Francisco Peaks shimmer in
the bright sun. As I drove to this
wonderful city for a few-days' retreat, I prayed for clear direction for my
life. I treasure these heavenly times in
a mountain sanctuary far from everyday routine.
These daffodils
know what direction they should lean. I
guess it helps to have a strong morning breeze lead the way! The teachings in
God’s Word lead me and I heard some powerful messages.
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
I
never tire of pine trees. Rows and rows
of them speak strength and faithfulness to me.
Those who live in
the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in
the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare
about the Lord:
He alone is my
refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and
I trust him. Psalm 91: 1, 2
I’m
thankful to be refreshed and ready to engage again. The neat thing about being with Jesus – He always
whispers encouragement and love and offers rest for the weary!
A beautiful reminder of the faithfulness of our God's presence, Mary! The beauty of His creation is a reminder of His strength...especially in the mountains! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMary, I am so glad that you were able to get away with the Father and let His renewing hand rest upon you...It sounds like a wonderful retreat.....
ReplyDeleteLovely reminder.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord loves for us to search out a quiet place to be alone with him...he blesses it with His peace and clear thinking. I am so happy for you to have experience this.♥
ReplyDeleteHow often I talk...talk...as I pray...asking for what I want...what I need...Thank you for the reminder of the importance to be still in His presence and to "listen" instead of what He wants to say in my heart...I know the refreshment from Him is "not of this place..." God bless and protect you sister Mary.
