is my Shepherd, that’s all I need." She was right on in her insightful truth. Here are some things we need as we begin the New Year. We need balance. This is a time for moving toward Jesus and His purposes for us, most of which we don't know or possibly even anticipate. He loves the hunger of our hearts to know Him. We need to understand that pursuing is not striving. We can seek Him even when not stressed, expect without being impatient, need without feeling unhealthily needy. The key lies in our focus. Are we intent on fulfillment or self fulfillment? Receiving or seizing? We need to seek His will and plan daily. One of the best ways to stay in balance is to demand rest and peace in our daily lives. We learn of Christ most effectively when we cease striving and know that He is God, when we relax and receive. There is only one way we get; we have to wait and receive. The Lord delights in holding us, calming our hearts and leading us. Not every path He leads us on is treacherous, He guides us into meadows and beside still streams. If we seek the balance He offers He will gently and calmly lead us where we need to go. Lord help us learn how to ask without being demanding, to receive without grabbing, and seek without being obstinate. Help us to find you in Your strength not ours to meet our needs.
