I coasted down the steep slope of Chestnut Hill Road. Wind whipped through the open windows and tousled my hair, cooling my sweating brow. The sky blanketed the earth in periwinkle blue, cradling the birds that zipped from tree to tree…a perfect spring day. But.
My mind was consumed with thoughts about everything. Thoughts about nothing. Feeling overwhelmed, I turned on the radio. Loud.
Rolling off the lips of the singer were these words, “Who is this King of Glory?”
Indeed.
I felt the Lord gently grab my heart and jerk it to attention, “Who is this King of Glory?”
It’s You, Lord.
Then, relax, My child. Relax.
This song by Third Day has been around for years, but it spoke fresh to my spirit, giving me strength for the journey. I pray its words will bless you as well.

Hi Nan! I was just thinking of that Psalm today. Lift up your gates and arches… Wow. What is God trying to tell me I wonder?
I do love a good 'heart squeeze'. He wants us to enjoy our lives, even the stressful parts. That's hard for me to do too. I get those tight shoulders! But then I see a confirming message, and it's like a healing massage.
Thank you 🙂
