Peace

This morning as we had our "Flow" meeting, I sat in the sanctuary and invited the Lord to come. Let me share with you what the Lord gave me today as I wrote down what took place:

Here I sit in the sanctuary - God's house. All the while hearing the cars whizzing by outside. The rush of busyness outside versus the calm of God's house inside. How different it is - or was it? It took me awhile to calm my heart. There was so much frustration and anger in my heart. Where was this coming from? What's going on? I needed to cling to Jesus. Calm the storms in my heart. Renew my spirit to be aligned with Yours I prayed. As the background music played, I felt His gentle touch and heard His voice - "Be still and know that I am God". Instantly all my anxious thoughts, frustrations and anger was gone. The One who died for me was with me.

Then the passage from Psalm 23 came to mind -
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."


Thanks Lord for hearing the cries of my heart. If there are difficult times that you are dealing with, sit with the God of all comfort and allow Him to pour out His peace, hope, restoration and love.

Have a great week and God bless!
