his understanding is inscrutable.

these verses are so familiar, ones i have heard since i was a child, but how quickly i begin to forget them. it is amazing how quickly i begin to believe lies. praise God that He is in control.

"A voice is calling,
'Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness;
Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
'Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the rough ground become a plain,
And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
And all flesh will see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.'
A voice says, 'Call out.'
Then he answered, 'What shall I call out?'
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the LORD blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired
His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."

i returned home last night from RUF internship orientation in atlanta last night.
my trip to winston-salem has been postponed.

i'm overwhelmed right now... overwhelmed by all i have to do, overwhelmed with excitement over new friends, overwhelmed by my feeling of inadequacy, yet overwhelmed by my passion for RUF and ministry in general... but mostly overwhelmed by the goodness of God and His sovereignty.

hearing many different stories this week, i was greatly humbled to see the way the Lord is intricately weaving our lives together. how He has brought each intern to this point in their lives and how He has chosen a place for them. He has chosen because He holds the master plan.

may i not forget that.

His Word stands forever.
He gives strength.
I am made adequate in my inadequacy.
Everything is for His glory... not for mine.
Everything is for His glory... not for mine.
Everything is for His glory... not for mine.
His understanding is incomprehensible.
