Beauty
of Reflection
We amateur
photographers were called to the challenge of sending in our best shot of the
beauty in reflections. Eager to join in the fun I searched my files
and found I had several images of skies, clouds, birds and more reflected in
the waters of my travels here and there.
It was then that the
obvious came to me― reflections are only
possible when the waters are calm.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I
will not be shaken.” Psalm 62 5-6 NLT
When we come before the Lord in prayer and be still before
Him, we will cultivate a deep abiding trust in Him developing our faith muscles
for moments of serenity in the storms of life about us. It is only then His
reflection within us is visible to the hearts of others who need Him
in that moment the most.
Calling on God for peace in our prayer time and tranquility
during those windy ruffling moments of life will portray an image of His
reflection as only He can do.
Just as the still
waters reflect the blue skies above, so our stillness in the storms reflect God’s
strength and beauty in Him.
“Do not be afraid of silence in your prayer time. It may be
that you are meant to listen, not to speak. So wait before the Lord. Wait in
stillness….” Amy Carmichael
