Treasures of abundance!

He leads me beside still waters and He restores my soul!  

What an awesome God, He knows what we need before we even ask.  As I sit here and look at a view that is too beautiful for words, I'm reminded of this verse in Psalm 23 that He leads me besides still waters and not only does He lead me to the beautiful still waters, He restores my soul in the process.  What a gift that is! 

I was enjoying the still waters from my raft the other day and I watched the waters quietly rippling as the sun rays danced across the wide open waters, reminding me of diamonds dancing and gleaming across the lake.  It was a view to remember.   The view is God given and a gift to open.  I'm grateful this week for the view.  He sometimes gives us a view to remember.  A view to His heart.  I know and realize His ways are not my ways, His thoughts are not my thoughts.  But precious are His views when we take the moment to enjoy them. 

I've been reminded lately that just like the diamonds dancing across the water, the treasures of God's provisions, His love, His view are like opening a box of abundance.  Abundant treasures.  I'm learning the treasures often come in different ways, different boxes.  I've found treasures in the darkness.  I found treasures this week dancing across the waters.  The treasures of allowing God to deepen my heart and deepen my walk with Him.  Deepen my intimacy with a loving, living Father.   Thank you Jesus for your abundance.  Knowing Him is the abundant life. 

Colossians 2:2-3 ~ My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Ephesians 3:20 ~ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
