This is easily one of my favourite roads;
you know… the one to Rhayader. God taught me something as I journeyed along it
on Wednesday.
I was on a tight schedule heading to
Cefn Lea for a gathering of people from across Wales, and I got stuck behind
some slow moving ‘pootler’ as we called them in my family when I was growing
up! It was a beautiful day and the sun was making those mountains and streams
look even more glorious than usual. Not that I knew anything about it myself…
all I could think about was trying to get past this blinking slow car in front
of me.
I was totally missing the beauty around
me. That’s when I felt the Holy Spirit say… “Wait a minute, chill out and enjoy
the journey.”
I was allowing this small unimportant
obstacle in front of me to completely steal the enjoyment and wonder of some of
my favourite scenery in the world!
Let’s choose this week to ensure that we
stop for a moment and enjoy the journey. Take a look around you and think about
the innumerable blessings that God has given you. Look to the left and the
right of your own car and celebrate the beauty and the blessings in the lives
of those around you. Look to the North and the South and see what God has done
and is doing. Take a breath for a second and enjoy the journey whatever small
obstacles are affecting your journey.
He says, “Be
still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
(Psalm 46:10)
