When nothing whereon to lean remains,
When strongholds crumble to dust;
When nothing is sure but that God still reigns,
That is just the time to trust.
‘Tis better to walk by faith than sight,
In this path of yours and mine;
And the pitch-black night, when there’s no outer light
Is the time for FAITH to shine.

As I was reading my Streams In The Desert book yesterday, this little poem was part of the daily devotional. I love the message and wanted to share it with you. Through thick and thin, turn to our Father. He is always there. Be still….you will feel him and his presence is that of non-other. ** Peace to you today…..B.
CREDITS: Photos taken by my husband. In sequence: A mountain Ridge over the Sonora Pass (CA); a river view in Yosemite Valley (CA); beautiful Aspen trees along the drive over the Sonora Pass (CA); and a glistening river in Yosemite, CA. Thank you, dear hubby, for capturing such beauty.

Beautiful...a perfect way to start the day..the music is so special also.God's grace and comfort even more so. Thank you.
Lovely, peaceful photos and an equally touching message.
Lovely photos and lovely devotion. Walking by faith sounds a lot easier than it really is. Sometimes it's more like standing still until you feel His hand touch yours and pull you.
Happy New YEAR!!!
So beautiful, Becky. Thank you for this.
Peace sweet peace flowing down from the Father....... and in the stillness we hear HIM ...... no need to wonder any longer...... HE is there.. HE has always been there.....

Beautiful pictures. Beautiful words. Thanks Becky for sharing them.
I hope you really read all your comments because I have something I want to say to you. I KNOW this is incredibly painful for you. I acknowledge that you are hurting so bad that sometimes you don't know if you can make it through.
But you have a gift. You are incredibly gifted with words. Usually, people that can write can also speak. I can't help but believe that God is using you through Jordan. There is something He wants you to do.....be a motivational Christian speaker, write a book to help others who have been through this...I don't know and I don't presume to know what God thinks, but trust me. This I know. HE has something He wants you to do. My experience has been that when He has a plan for you He means to see it happen. You can't escape it.
You must feel what you're feeling right now. Give yourself time and then ask Him what it is He wants you to do. He will answer you.
((Hugs))

Did you get your computer back up and running again? These are beautiful pictures and I lurve the devotional. I have a plaque on my cabinet next to where I do dishes and it says... "Faith is confidence in God when you do not understand." I just lurve it because so often things happen I don't understand the earthly reason for, so I have to trust that it has eternal value.
Becky, Just wanted to stop by and say hello.. you were in my thoughts.
Such a lovely post.
Hugs~Mary~ :-}
