The active force of patience

sometimes when I get preoccupied
with the busyness of my plans, I hurry past things
that were made to declare the wonder of God and His Lordship over all. 
It is a comfort that centers me, and reminds me that my circumstances have
been filtered by the Hands of One Who loves me.
 He makes it impossible for me to worry in moments like that,
 because its clear that
He takes notice of everything. 

Let the peace of Christ 
rule in your hearts
 since as members of one Body
 you were called to peace.
Colossians 3:15


Today, I purposed to see the Lord's work in a walk through the garden,
and I  noticed how perfectly symmetrical the fine green veins of the iris were. The design was flawless.
 It was a comfort to consider the attention given to a single flower, and I thought how much more does He do for for us? 

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
  He has also set eternity in the human heart;
 yet no one can fathom 
what God has done from beginning to end. 
Ecc. 3:11
