Isaiah 30:15

Today in my quiet time, God spoke a very clear verse to my heart.

Isaiah 30:15 -

"In repentance and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust is your strength."

I need to be quiet and trust. This is my strength.

Amidst family situations,
amidst job situations and layoffs,

in quietness and trust, is my strength.
No drama. Quietness and trust.

Help me, God, with this today. Bring this verse to mind often. Thursday is lay-off day at work for Ed. In quietness and trust is my strength...

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Love this!

Let thankfulness rule in your heart. As you thank Me for blessings in your life, a marvelous thing happens. It is as if scales fall of of your eyes, enabling you to see more and more of My glorious riches. With your eyes thus opened, you can help yourself to whatever you need from My treasure house. Each time you receive one of My golden gifts, let your thankfulness sing out praises to My Name. Hallelujahs are the language of heaven, and they can become the language of your heart.

O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.

Powerful words from people of faith. Sometimes it helps to read the words of others in prayer rather than your own.

God is good all the time. Thank you God for all you give. You are amazing. Your blessings surpass my closed eyes. Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things that you do! Give me fresh eyes for you! Amen.

Another Amazing Song - says it all!

Sometimes music can identify what you have been feeling more than anything else can.


Only Jesus Lyrics

Performed by- Big Daddy Weave


Who could ever find the words to describe the Indescribable
Limited vocabulary falls so short of depicting You God
Yet I'm distracted, the things of this world threaten to pull me apart But in Your mercy You hear the cry of my heart

(Chorus)
Only Jesus, Only Jesus
Lord, I'm tired of all the rest
When my heart knows You are best
Come and change, Lord, rearrange every part of me
Until You are all that can be seen
Come be seen in me

(Chorus)

Only Jesus, Only Jesus
Son of God and Son of Man who
Came to destroy the work of sin
And its work in me was crushed when
You became the way for me
Help me surrender and stop pretending that I can live on my own
I'll find who I am wrapped up in You alone
(Chorus)

Song Description:
This is a faster tune. The lyric comes from a place of desperation in the Lord, and it ends with the realization that only Jesus satisfies. Some people treat salvation as if it is little more than fire insurance. This song declares that it is also about having abundant life and that satisfaction in this life that only Jesus can bring. (Mike Weaver)

Moving So Fast, I Have Been Missing It

Lord, this song has convicted me. I am moving so fast lately that I am trying to do it on my own and have been too tired. This song hits the mark... Thanks for speaking to me this morning.

MATTHEW WEST LYRICS – YOU ARE EVERYTHING LYRICS

I’m the one with two left feet
Standing on a lonely street
I can’t even walk a straight line
And every time you look at me
I’m spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom sometime

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won’t let me fall
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in

Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
I’m the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I ever care to confess
Oh but, You’re the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won’t let me fall
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in
Breathe again

Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You’re everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than You
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You are
You are
Jesus, You are
You are everything
