Too Much for One Day

Today began with an incredible sunrise over the mountains outside Flagstaff and from there only got better. We saw the unbelievable beauty of the Grand Canyon, an astounding diversity of people drawn to this magnificent work of creation and had the honor of finishing the day with the children’s Great Grandmother Grace. All of which I would love to say more but for now:

The astounding diversity, as we were walking along the southern rim of the canyon today we could hear Worship music coming from somewhere. We walked toward it and came upon a group of twelve or thirteen people who had gone out on an outcropping with a guitar and were belting it out to God. We sat down and soaked it in. As others passed by they often stopped and in a multitude of languages called out their approval. Few things speak of God’s magnitude like the Grand Canyon but today we got to see one better in the way He touches folks everywhere.

Too Much

We all come to the Lord and move closer to Him through fire. It’s the difficult circumstances and seasons we find ourselves in that help us see how much we need Him. It’s also in these times that His ability to see us through is most evident. If we could handle everything on our own, our relationship and understanding of Him would be superficial at best. So when you are in the middle or better yet at the beginning of an overwhelming situation and it feels like it’s just too much for you, it probably is. But peace, comfort and relief can be found in knowing that there is nothing that’s too much for you and God together.
