Lately, I have been dealing with a rushing spirit. I've been working on releasing anxiety and anger while I am driving. This morning I got in the slowest lane ever (southerners really take their time making turns :p). But I was just having an amazing time with the Lord, singing and listening to the radio…intentionally unperturbed about the traffic situation!
F…I…N…A…L…L…Y, I turned the corner to get on the freeway and there it was!!!! The most beautiful sunrise!!! Great big, fluffy, colorful clouds with sun beams gleaming through! It lit up the whole eastern sky! An absolute brilliant piece of art. It took my breath away! The Lord spoke His word, “Soon” over me once again.

Sometimes is seems we will never get through this season. It drags and drags. He wants to teach us wonderful things while it seems nothing is happening. When we have finally learned to trust and rest, grasping the truth He has been trying to teach us, we turn the corner and voila!! A beautiful sunrise! A gift from His hand!
The sunrise wouldn’t have been there an hour earlier; the beautiful cloud formation with rays of light wouldn’t have been there 5 minutes earlier or later. I had to go through the slow traffic to be able to receive the perfect gift at the perfect time...His perfect timing! A gift I didn’t even know was waiting at the next turn!!

We need to learn the things He wants to teach us in this season and not be anxious about the next. It will arrive! And it will be a perfect work of art!!
And a great road will go through that once deserted land.
It will be named the Highway of Holiness.
Evil-minded people will never travel on it
It will be only for those who walk in God's ways;
Fools will never walk there.
Lions will not lurk along its course,
nor any other ferocious beasts.
There will be no other dangers.
Only the redeemed will walk on it.
Only the redeemed will walk on it.
Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.
They will enter Jerusalem singing,
crowned with everlasting joy.
crowned with everlasting joy.
Sorrow and mourning will disappear,
and they will be filled with joy and gladness.
Isaiah 35:8-10
