Readers' Reflections: A Guest Post from Rebecca Rohrscheib

 Rebecca posted this on her blog “Randomly Rebecca,” in response to Week 13 – Day 1 (Psalm 69).

“The Bible Trail”

i love how God’s word can take you on a journey sometimes.  much like a rabbit trail, where one thought leads to another.

but unlike the randomness of a conversational rabbit trail, God’s word truly takes you on a journey to the destination that you need to go.

there are times when different situations are going on in my life and i have to stop the “doable” side of me and go right to the Source.  i have to go to God and seek Him.  when that happens, it always seems to take me on a bible trail.  a trail through His Word that leads me to exactly what He has for me.

this happened just this morning for me when i read a post by emily mushlock on her blog “thirsty”.  she shared from psalm 69 where it says the “waters have come up to my neck.”  that passage seemed to give a clear picture of how i’m feeling and the season that i'm in.  i currently feel a bit engulfed in the daily.  that i'm being swallowed up by the waters of life.

but as it always happens, when i seek Him through His word, God’s word took me on a trail that led me to lift up my head and the final destination was worship. 

isaiah 41:10b   “i will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

psalm 3:3   “but You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.”

psalm 123:1a   “i will lift up my eyes to You.”

so, while at the beginning of this day, and this writing i felt under the water, kind of buried in the daily.

in the middle, He lifted my head.

in the end, i worshipped.

and worship is the final destination for today’s journey.

I love how Rebecca took me through the journey that God sent her on through His word, His voice, and His Spirit speaking to her soul.  It is so cool how He does that!  And before you know it when it feels like you’re going to sink, you realize the Rock is right there under your feet!
