Clarity

The Mississippi is mighty but it is also MUDDY!

Calm water is CLEAR water.  

When our minds and hearts are "stirred up" there is a lot of debree hindering good visibility.  Cloudiness in water is measured in degrees of "turbidity".  Rash thoughts are like flood water, powerful but usually destructive. 

Serenity of heart and mind is like the surface of a calm lake,

 it reflects the light from above and you can see right through the 

still water as you get close because it has 

dropped all the sediment to the bottom.  

May we learn to find that inner calm and stillness that enhances 

good  spiritual visibility.  Beware the rapids of the mind, there 

are usually large rocks waiting and many injuries.  

"He leads me 

beside STILL waters."

“God is whispering to us well nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world dies out, or sinks low, then we hear these whisperings of God. (He) is always whispering to us, only we do not always hear because of the noise, hurry and distraction which life causes as it rushes on. ~Frederick William Fabar
