Day 67 Yes, I See

 

3/8/2026

"It is blessed to know of a place where we can

lay our tired head and heart, our heavenly Father's 

arms, and say to Him, 'I can do no more. And I have

nothing to tell you. May I lie here a while and rest?

Everything will soon be well again if I can only

rest in Your arms a while."

 

O. Hallesby

 

 

Here I am, sitting on a log, looking down at the grass, lost in my thoughts, feeling small and vulnerable, the noise in my head threatening to steal my peace, my joy. It's lonely sitting on this log, alone, weary, and afraid, but help is on the way. Soon I'll see a car pass by, and a stranger will smile and wave a friendly hello. The birds will eat the crumbs left on the meadow grass, then happily fly away. The sun is slowly rising and hope is on the way.

 

There are days when I feel "stuck" not knowing what to do. For a few months now my normal life has been changed, and when things finally appear to look hopeful, another potential snag threatens the peace that has been gained. Yet this time there's a difference, there's awareness, yet a calming feeling as if no matter what comes, it is well. As if in affirmation I hear the words "it is well with my soul" softly playing in the background. And I know that it is well with my soul, and in my life, because great is the faithfulness of the Lord. Again, confirmation comes "Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; as Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be." 

 

It appears as if the Lord is sitting here beside me on my lonely log, no longer alone but resting in the arms of my Savior and Lord. He's assuring me of His love, and He's singing to me, reminding me of His faithfulness. He sent the stranger's smile and wave of affirmation. He sent the birds to dine and happily fly away, and He sent the sun to awaken the sky and shine the light of His countenance. He is reminding me that it's a new day, and although the clouds may appear in the sky, He is always with me. Never be afraid to start again, as many times as it takes, no matter what another may say to hurt and harm, He changes not, and His compassion never fails, great is His faithfulness.
