Psalm 138:8
"The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the work of Your hands."

It has been an awesome week, incredible in so many ways and painful in quite a few, but the whole time the Lord has been there faithfully supplying all I need. Whether it be encouragement, chastening, boldness, pruning... He has opened the eyes of my heart, causing a sobering effect there. He saw my feet lifting off the ground, my mind giving into hopes that are well beyond today, my heart soaring, my thoughts running well into the tomorrows of this life and He has been faithful to bring me back to where I need to be, right beside Him, instep with His thoughts and ways.

This verse has been a good reminder that He is the one who will perfect all that concerns me...not I. And this cry for Him not to forsake the works of His hands is one I know that He has been and will continue to be faithful in answering.

It is often painful letting go of our own hopes and dreams, releasing them to Him, allowing Him to change and mold them, but so beautiful. One day soon I am hoping to write of a long time dream that He has been bringing through this molding and refining process, it is getting more and more beautiful as He has been revealing bits of it to me...in the meantime, I need to keep my feet planted, my thoughts on today, and my hopes in Him completely.
