This is one of the bluest lakes I’ve ever seen. It is a glacier lake. The rivers filling it are formed by melting glaciers and when you see those rivers they are quite cloudy, kind of a grayish white opaqueness. What has happened is that over the hundreds and thousands of years that a glacier has formed and receded and repeated that, the rocks which are frozen into the glacier get ground to dust. When the glacier melts, the rivers it forms are full of rock dust giving the river the grayish white look.
But when the rivers empty into the lake and the water becomes quieter, the sun reflects off the residual dust in this crazy blue color.
We all have “residuals” in our lives, things both good and bad which are leftovers from our experiences. We get to choose how those will show up in our lives, whether as a crazy beautiful reflection or a murky, hazy opacity. When we keep stirring and rehashing and refusing to let Jesus still our souls and heal us, we tumble along hazy and murky. But when we let Jesus settle us, calm us, they can be a beautiful reflection of His healing.
What needs to be released? What needs to be laid at His feet?
