God said to the people of Israel: “If only you had paid attention to my
commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the
waves of the sea.” (Isaiah 48:18). A river flows unhindered over rocks and
boulders as it moves from one place to the next. It flows around them, over
them, and past them—all the while smoothing rough edges. A river doesn’t strive
to get from one place to another. It simply flows. That is the glory life of
living and moving and having our being in Christ. We simply flow with a
sacred inner calmness. Sometimes circumstances will be like tumultuous
white-capped rapids, other times like a lazy gentle stream. But the life in
union with Jesus keeps flowing. Moving forward. And in the journey, we catch
glimpses of sudden glory in the scenery as we move between life’s banks.

Lord, that's what I want.....to simply flow with a sacred inner calmness!
