It’s a spiritual trail that remains hidden to us until we really want it.Įven after we’ve dedicated our lives to follow Christ and serve God we probably find ourselves often diverted from continually submitting to the divine will. In Abandonment to Divine Providence, which is a book of his spiritual letters, we learn that abandoning outcomes to God is the true path of peace. The 18th Century letters of the French, Jesuit priest Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675 – 1751) teach us to submit ourselves continually to the sovereign Lord’s will and enjoy his loving presence. We hear this love song when we abandon our self to God in the moment. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:17, NLT) It was the Lord singing a love song over me through the birds! He sings over you too! With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will take delight in you with gladness. The prophet says, “ For the Lord your God is living among you. I was thinking about my run I just finished and my work for the day ahead. I wasn’t tuned into God’s beautiful creation and loving presence. Why didn’t I hear the first part of their sweet song when I walked under their tree and up the sidewalk to my house? They were singing beautifully then too, why didn’t I notice? I finished a 4-mile run this morning and as I took off my shoes I heard the birds singing beautifully.
