Today is such a day of deep reflection for me, and with my children being young, I’m provided with the opportunity to teach them the meaning of Good Friday and the reason of our celebration of Easter. How awesome of an opportunity is that? I get to teach my kids who Jesus is.

Something has been weighing on my mind for the last couple days. It has been there behind a curtain, and not until today, did it dawn on me. I was thinking of the verse I visited a while ago of 2 Peter 3:8 (in an earlier post 4/1/04) that “with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day…”

Have you ever looked at the detail of your day and seen it as He does? If He can see your day being like a thousand years, imagine all the detail that He fills our individual days with, that we fail to see the beauty in. How much of what He gives us, completely escapes our worthy attention? Attention to the fine details…

Upon reflection, I realize that as a Mom, I have “those days” with my kids, where I look at my watch regularly to see if bedtime is getting any nearer. I can almost feel Him cringe in disappointment as I miss the little details that He has so carefully put on a platter and handed to me.

He sees days in the slow motion that we ignore.
He sees the individual and unique opportunities
He freely generates for us,
while knowing fully in advance
of our acceptance or rejection of those opportunities.
And still, with His full knowledge of our absent disregard for all the unique details that He has filled our day with, He still gives, and gives, and gives!

He cascades His love on me daily… but do I see it all clearly? Not nearly. And even in that moment of a heart sinking feeling that I get when it occurs to me, I am reminded that only in my weakness can God’s power be perfected in me! That is when He strengthens me. (2 Cor. 12:9-10)

++God, I just seek Your perfect agenda for my life… and some days, my surrender to You is repetative. Thank You for knowing my heart and all my heart’s desires, my journey is to continually discover and hear Your’s Lord. Please continue to infuse me with Your love and life, and awaken understanding and Your amazing wisdom in me, so that every thought that comes forth from me, reflects You. Sustaining words of Your love, understanding, comfort, grace, devotion, pleasure, intimacy, gifts, and devotion. I just deeply desire Lord to see beyond the present, with a vision of that far far far down the road, to see things in a bigger picture with Your heavenly perspective. In Jesus name… Amen.++
