Passing by beauty, goes unnoticed, it gets shrugged off and since everything is so fast paced, we truly are missing a lot of God’s gifts He has placed all around us. To wild flowers growing in dusty ditches, to wild animals crossing paths among trees, birds soaring high in the sky and their sweet singing is silenced by rushing people never stopping to take some of the beauty in, so just take a breathe of thanks to enjoy the neat tiny brushes that God paints with in the day lite sky to the glowing stars sparkling off the moons shine. Psalm 27:4 NIV. One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

When we are to exist here on earth and live in this world, we can still slow down enough to see God’s beauty and appreciate it. God did not create the ‘Earth’ a blob of ‘Earth’ He painted and designed it with the utmost care and when you stop to think How cool some of His paintbrushes are, everything is unique to His creative design, He created ‘You & Me’ too, I’d have to say He used special brushes for each one of us.

As the world speeds past with: fast cars, fast food you get out a window, fast internet, fast everything – you can’t wait for it order online and get it now. Mark 4:19 NIV. But the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in a choke the word, making it unfruitful. Remember to stop from time to time and bask in the beauty of God’s handy work, He’s made all of this, accept His special gift of little nuggets of beauty everywhere. When you don’t slow down you miss it, so take your time go for a walk and glance at His details, go for a drive just to see the sights.

When you are: go, go, go, satan’s in control and it really doesn’t matter what your busy with. Ephesians 5:15&16 NIV. 15 Be very careful, then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Taking your mind off of the Lord and keeping you away from God’s ‘Holy Trail’ is the way he works, the more you are in the presence of the Lord, the closer you are with God and the closer you are with God, the harder the chance is satan can get you off your God plan. Ephesians 5:17 NIV. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Peace is a great guide to embrace, God gifts us peace and it is ours as long as we accept it. You will be walking of peace when not everything is go ‘NOW’ get it ‘NOW’ need it ‘NOW’ want it ‘NOW’ and pressure comes onto you like a big boulder the pressure of it is breaking you down, BUT… when you are walking Gods ‘Holy Trial’ all is well and will give you a ‘SETTLED’ heart of ‘PEACE’. This is the way I like to roll, so roll with me. Numbers 6:24-26 NIV. 24 “The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Heavenly Father God of Peace, I thank you for this special gift you have graciously wrapped up for all your people, I thank you that you give us all the ability to unwrap it and accept it. You know Lord the world is fast paced and you never created it to be this way, with all of the beauty you gift to us all, help us to look up high in the sky and look low where flowers caress your ground. Thank you, Lord for Jesus’ Precious Blood to cover us over in peace and keep us away from ‘Busy’ protect us from the enemy, soften our hearts so we can smoothly embark on your ‘Holy Trail’. May peace be ours, in Jesus name, Amen.
