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 lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
