Beauty of God's Reflection

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
