BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD
Today there is no thought of going online and reading any
news. This is a day to hide indoors with my Father in heaven and
hear His still small voice. Many voices
are speaking in this hour and it is overwhelming if one does not know the word
of God.
Then for those prophetic voices who want to hear the Lord clearly we realize
we cannot be reading other prophetic words as we need to be sure we are hearing
clearly from God ourselves.
Today it is inclement weather, winter is here and the bible
says so long as the earth exists, sowing time and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, and day and night will not cease. Looking outside through my
patio doors I am actually enjoying seeing the snow fall in what is the first
real winter snow storm. Last
night it rained and so we have had a mixture of snow and freezing rain till
this morning.
It is a great indoor day
to get ever closer to the Lord. To shut
out the world and all the crying voices, even for just a moment. Silence is at times golden. No television but the clock ticking on the
wall reminding me to redeem the time because the days are evil. As I came downstairs this morning it was and
still is my intent to dig into the Word of God and sit with my heavenly
Father. How good is our God to sometimes
send us blustery, cold winter days to give us time indoors with Him.
Yes, there is much to prepare for, but the preparation of
our hearts is the most important. Many
are stressed and feeling the pressures of the season, and the pressures brought
to bear with all that is going on in this world. Father sees it all and we must sit with Him
to see it through His eyes. He is a God who
never slumbers or sleeps. We are
reminded of the disciples who fell asleep when they were to be watching with
Jesus and could not watch even one hour.
Today it is my intent though the flesh is weak to sit with Father and
just enjoy His presence. Asking for
nothing but being thankful for who He is.
Are you thankful today for who Jesus is and what He has done in your
life? Then why not take time aside from
your busy schedule, stop what you are doing if you are able, if not now but
sometime today and just thank Jesus, for the price paid for your freedom. Truly He paid the price in
full and has done much in our lives. Let
us praise Him today for who He is and see the glory of the Lord manifested in
our lives.
So long as the earth exists, sowing time and harvest, cold
and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease. Genesis 8:22
(CJB)
Seek Adonai while
he is available,
call on him while he is still nearby. Isaiah 55:6 (CJB)
