Really good word highlight here Afton. Like you, I often turn to this passage from 2 Chronicles. It is so good as it grounds me firmly in my true condition of utter dependency on our God who can do more for me in a moment than I could do in a lifetime. Paradoxically - this stance of deep dependency is one that is feeling ever more spacious and freeing to my soul.
Ann-so great to hear from you! Thanks for reading. So true that deep dependency on God is spacious and freeing. What a profound paradox. And oh the power and joy of depending deeply on God together as “we.”
oh this is so true. how much did we miss along the way because we hunkered down in isolation, preferring our own miserable company instead of humbling ourselves and reaching out those who'd already proven to be safe, gracious, and kind.
So true, Afton. As I’ve grown in age and maturity, I realize the benefit - necessity - of living with a WE mindset. Thank you for reminding me!
And keep reminding me ;)

Yes! I hunkered down for way too long.
