“I lean not on my own understanding. My life is in the hands of the Maker of Heaven” (Nothing I Hold On To by Will Reagan)
Man, I feel like truer words have never been spoken. Or sung, in this case. We sang this song tonight during an impromptu worship session on our last night in Guatemala. And as I repeated the words over and over, my heart nearly burst from my chest at the joy of it.
“For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.” (Hebrews? ?11?:?10? ESV)
The word for my life lately is “unshakeable.” God has been revealing to me what it looks like to walk in the confidence of who I am as His daughter. He has reminded me of all He has done in and through me. He has shown me all the ways in which He is faithful. I have been given the gift of faith.
So when life gets a bit unstable, I am steady. When my emotions are running haywire, my spirit is still content. When nothing makes any sense, God still IS.
Maybe this all sounds cheesy and a tad cliche, but sometimes a little cheesiness is good. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the obvious: when we look to God, we will find the Rock to build our life upon.
I have roughly a month left of this wild ride. My body is exhausted and I have no clue what’s next. But I’m filled with a quiet joy that doesn’t go away. I am walking in the acceptance of the Most High God. And I will not be shaken.
