Constant

This word "constant" keeps repeating itself in my mind and in my heart this afternoon. I'm sitting at a table under an oning at the lake and it is raining. It's not pouring, but it's a constant, steady rain. The lake is peaceful today. Everything here is still and quiet. The sky gray and the air is cool, but with no breeze, just the stillness and quiet trickle of raindrops.

My hear needed to be here this afternoon. I needed this stillness and tranquility. School is wonderful and I truly love it. And for anyone who knows me well, you know I love to go, go, go, and keep going till I drop! But every now and then, I need to stop and just breathe.

Sitting here listening to the rain and my ipod quietly playing a few of my favorite worship songs has been a blessing and encouragement. The song "Constant" by Charlie Hall just finished playing. The lyrics say,

Just like the sunshine, you have been our light

Leading us into beautiful places

And we've walked through fire but You made us brighter
Leading us into beautiful places

Faithful Jesus, healing Savior

Compass center, bread of life

Faithful Jesus, cherished treasure

Our portion, wisdom, God's great light

Just like the starlight You shine in the black night

Leading us into beautiful places

Just like the atmosphere You've come to surround us here

Leading us into beautiful places

Faithful Jesus, healing Savior

Compass center, bread of life
Faithful Jesus, cherished treasure

Our portion, wisdom, God's great light

God, You are here with us, constantly here with us

You are our everything, faithful and true

God, You are here with us, constantly here with us

You are our everything, faithful and true

It was a sweet reminder that Jesus is with us in everything. He is walking through life with me, holding my hand, and carrying me when I fall. He is faithful and true. It was a blessing to be reminded this afternoon that as constant as this rain is that is falling from the sky, so is my God! Thank you Precious Father!
