The Surroundings

As I drive home I think of my surroundings
I see storms ahead and beside me.
The lightning bouncing off the clouds
to punctuate the turmoil all around.
Yet as I listen to what is being sung to me
with words that almost seem meant just for me.
I am reminded to let go and stay all in for Jesus and His plan.
The lights in front just show the road and the next steps that I can take.
And as I look upward to see the stars, in the clear pocket of night.
I see the brilliance of nature magnifying my Lord's might.
and I am told that it is not by anything that I have done, or even who I am.
But that it all is about who HE is.
As I am reminded about who He is and and what the I AM and always will be, is and means to me.
I sit and smile at my surroundings as peace washes over me.
For I know that even though I look at the Surroundings, that in my journey I am right where I need to be.
