Reflection Willapa Bay WA by Dee Kamp
Beauty
of God’s Reflection
We were
recently called as photographers to the challenge of sending in our best shot
of the beauty in reflections around us. Eager to join in the fun I searched my
files and found I had several images of nature, birds and more reflected in the
waters. 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, if we cultivate a moment of calm in preparation
for our time alone with Him, our heart will be less ruffled, disturbed and
distracted.
God is the
calm we can rely on and He is calling us to enter into His presence in an
attitude of quiet trust. When we are feeling calm and trusting in the Lord when
others are ruffled by the slightest breeze of unrest it is then they wonder how
and then it’s when they discover it’s not us, but God’s beautiful reflection in
us for all to see.
“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
