Silence After the Symphony

The Lord's promises lead to faith. Faith leads to obedience. Obedience leads to miracles, and miracles bring joy. When God sends us a promise and ignites faith within us, we begin to step out and obey in reckless ways. An array of indescribable confirmations bursts before our very eyes! The peace that overflows our souls in this moment is awe-inspiring and satisfying. We never want to leave the realm of His glory, but nevertheless our lives must continue. This means continuing on with the confidence of His promise. Quite a difficult task this can be. We often lose our fiery determination as we sit and wait silently while the storms pass. Every arrow that attempts to strike me down is rendered powerless by Your name, God. In the silence of our everyday lives we must not lose our zealous spirits, but we must look to Him for our peace, guidance, and happiness.
   Do not be discouraged, because the Lord your God has given you a promise. When the Lord gives a promise it will come to pass, and how wondrous it will be. Psalm 34:17-18 says, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit." May the Lord send His peace; God bless.

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant life.

The Beauty and Wonder of Grace

The Beauty and Wonder of Grace: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1) Before I came to You, I was lost and empty. Before Your miraculous mercy remade me, I was drowning in sinful darkness. You came to me in all my filthy shame, and Your grace has made me alive - anew. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17) Newness, complete newness. This is how You have reformed me; You have transformed me. I stand here with lifted hands, surrendering my all to Your loving, caring, and trustworthy arms. "Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." (Psalms 55:22) "casting all your care upon Him, for
