Horizon

It’s a crisp winter day. The trees are bare, having lost their leaf coats months ago. Through their stripped branches, I can see what is invisible during the leafy seasons of spring, summer, and fall.

The horizon lies beyond, beautiful and distinct.

So it is with God. Our lives have seasons of vitality and activity, and we believe God is near, but our busyness keeps us from seeing him clearly. Then come slow seasons of rest and stillness, and suddenly the One we’ve been missing comes into view. 

May you find moments of clear vision today, my friend.

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Psalm 46:10 ESV

This post is written in response to Kate Motaung’s Five Minute Friday link-up! These prompts are fun to respond to, and only take five minutes to compose. I’m also smack-dab in the middle of a 31-day creativity challenge, and painted these winter trees to go along with this post.
