on days like these I have realized that I need to make a list of things that need to get done. I feel so productive when I can cross something off on that list. At the moment I am having fun checking something of the list by writing in homemade cards to friends and family who live far away.
Later on I am going to workout, then go read at a coffee shop and maybe do some job searching...
Anyways, it is nice to have some time to rest and just enjoy being with nothing specific to do. There are no special requirements only to be and rest in the day that God has given me to live. You never know what he is going to do or how/where he is going to use you. He is always present, always moving, and wanting to use us to accomplish his purpose on the earth. How humbling...
"BE STILL...and KNOW that I AM GOD...Psalm 46:10
Sometimes we just need to BE...to rest...
I am doing a Beth Moore bible study on David: seeking a heart like his.
It has been such a wonderful study. This morning, as I was finishing up this weeks homework, I was reminded of God's presence in my life and his continued faithfulness from the time I was a little girl. When I was young and really throughout my life I have dealt with a lot of fears. One particular fear I had was a fear that someone would come and take me or hurt my family at night. I couldn't sleep and these constant thoughts of harm just really overtook me. Jesus came in and gave me peace...I began to see angels in my room when I would sleep at night. I would see them all around my bed and my door and window. In that moment I knew that Jesus was with me. That he was presense was present and it help to calm me. I recently came across a scripture in Psalm 91:9 which says, "If you say, 'The Lord is my refuge' and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways..." How amazing...I am just overwhelmed with God's love and his faithfulness. He is so amazing. No words can describe Him! You are faithful and your word is true.
His presence is present...He makes himself known. He reveals his heart and shows us his love for us each day. He desires to feed us with the bread of His presence. His table is always set. He is always speaking. God give me a hunger for our word...That I would desire you above anything else. Make me aware of your presence in my life so that I have the assurance no matter what the circumstance you are with me.
Selah...
