Bustle

After being in the city for over two weeks now, I have come to GREATLY appreciate my Savior's creation, even more so than ever before. Here, the cars are loud, the ground is dirty, and everything has been made or altered by human hands. These things, in turn, make it a struggle to have the peace I normally do. However, even while it is more difficult for me to enter into God's presence with all this bustling around me, I have found that GOd's peace can fill me no matter where I am. God reminded me of Psalm 23 when He MADE David lie down in green pastures and led him beside still waters. The diction used here is very direct and implies an outside force making something happen. At the same time, David was seated at the same tables as his enemies. Like me, he was not where he wsa comfortable, yet God gave him peace and even OVERfilled him with blessings. So, all while I am most comfortable in rural and snall town-like areas, I carry my Savior's peace no matter where I am. He is ALWAYS with me and because I embody Him, I carry all His characteristics with me every day. Unlike my surroundings, God's love never changes and His grace is always before me. Therefore, I will patiently endure the rush of the city and walk in the beauty of my Lord, for His peace fills my heart.
