How is God’s hand waving over you?

Let’s Journey Together and spend a midweek Moment with Father.

I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.

Every shoreline is changed by the wave of God’s hand, and so too are the days of our lives.

Sam and I love walking the beaches God places in our path as we travel. I go barefoot most of the time, squeezing the wet sand between my toes with each step.

Discovering a pristine sand dollar during one of our excursions caused my inner girl to giggle out loud. On many occasions, I watch intently to see what He will wash up in front of me as each wave changes the topography of the beachfront.

Here’s some folklore about the sand dollar for your consideration.

“There’s a lovely little legend that I would like to tell, of the birth and death of Jesus, found in this lowly shell.

If you examine closely, you’ll see that you find here, four nail holes and a fifth one, made by a Roman’s spear.

On one side the Easter lily, its center is the star, that appeared unto the shepherds and led them from afar.

The Christmas Poinsettia etched on the other side, reminds us of His birthday, our happy Christmastide.

Now break the center open, and here you will release, the five white doves awaiting, to spread Good Will and Peace.

This simple little symbol, Christ left for you and me, to help us spread His Gospel through all Eternity.”

We are told in Romans 1:19-20 that we will discover God in His creation. What discoveries from Father have you found walking on the beach?

I’ve discovered God allows waves of change in my life as well. New and renewed friendships, new experiences, unexpected joys, additions to our family—so many changes. And the longer I live, the quicker the tides appear and recede.

How about you?

What changes has God’s hand waved into your life?

I realize that for many, the past few weeks have been a literal wave of devastation. My prayers go out to all those impacted. May peace flow in to ease your suffering, and hands reach out to help in the restoration.

Let’s journey together

Abba Daddy, thank You for the joy found in creation.

Open our eyes to see the work of Your hand in all things.

Situations we don’t understand.

Opportunities we didn’t see coming.

Help us to embrace Your peace when we struggle.

Guide us deeper into discovering more about You daily.

Open our hearts to reach out and help the hurting.

To You be all glory, honor, and praise.

Hallelujah.

Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22

May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.
