Its not easy being me.... Lord only knows all that I have going through my mind of just those things I'd like to accomplish in one day...Oh Sweet holy Spirit thank you for gently reminding me.."Be Still" I have to go about my day doing for others, caring, cooking, cleaning, and chasing down the little ones about to get into trouble...with all this mess and still finding a way to stay blessed....It can only be a blessed time after being Still in the presence of my heavenly father....Is what I'm learning....Praise be to God....He says in the bible in the book of Isaiah..."He gently leads those with young"...He knows my heart desires and my hearts whispers...Yes most of them are..."Please Lord Help me"...but the many of those whispers are "Thank you Jesus for seeing me through"...Only God was able to lead me and guide and provide for me today in a way that no man could...yes I wish I had a maid or a sitter sometimes...but in God's Time all things are made Beautiful! For he knows...He has made my day and so its a perfect day...no matter the difficulties and messes and sadness of being alone or whatever trials come...Yes the Lord Jesus is blessing me in my Right Now...and so I can turn the battlefields in my mind to 'Be Still and Know God"...Oh how Great thou art my El Shaddai! Sometimes the kids will stop and ask me "mom...why are you smiling or giggling to yourself"...and i stop and take notice that whats going on in my mind is showing...there is true Joy of putting my thoughts on Heavenly things on Jesus and how he is....and on things I hope for ...The Joy of Knowing soon and very soon....My King...the Lord Jesus is returning...My deliverer is coming....The whole truth in learning to be Still in all that is going on in our busy Lives is simply being able to tune our minds to Heaven...Listening to the gentle way the Holy Spirit reminds us of the Word of God inplanted in our hearts and minds, He gently teaches us and guides us to be comforted and become stronger and be encouraged so that we can go forward to be a blessing to others and share....Share a song, a new song, an old song, ....whatever it is that has been created in your innermost being to edify and encourage and inspire and move the body of Christ into a closer and deeper walk with Jesus. There are many times I start singing an old hymn and make it my own by adding new words...Praise the Lord your own personal way...so what if you don't know all the words...humm ...or just dance...lol! There is so much to learn while being still....How great it is too hold on to our Peace..the Peace God gives...not the worlds peace of temporary fleshly satisfication...but a Peace that passes understanding...How he alone can give us...His children..the assurance of being with us and holding us and letting us know its going to be alright. So sometimes I don't get to finish all I set out to do...but in God I know I have accomplished much...I rejoice and am glad to know...He takes care of every detail....as he did for the beautiful flowers that fade....He cares and knows the hairs on my head....He says ...I look down on the earth and I search for those seeking me.... My dear friends...Be Still and Know That He is God...Jesus Loves You! Seek Him first and Know that He is God! John 1...the word was with God and the word is God...as in relation to Genesis 1 Learning to be Still .....Yes God is always at work and creating and making me new...From glory to glory...Amen! |
