God Speaks

Love this Jesus Calling passage below– Good thoughts for a beautiful morning! I reflect as my friend's dad passed away last night. I reflect on some of the journal comments of others as they learned of the news and saw God in nature give them a peace that her dad is in a better place and with Him. This life is not the kingdom. It is the passage to Heaven... our true home... As Paul longed for it, so should we. In the meantime, we will see God here as we keep our eyes open and our hearts seeking Him as our treasure. "You are my strength when I am weak. You are the treasure that I seek. You are my all in all. Seeking you as a precious jewel. Lord, to give up, I'd be a fool. You are my all in all". Forgive me, God, for not making YOU my treasure.

Jesus Calling

I speak to you continually. My nature is to communicate, though not always in words. I fling glorious sunsets across the sky, day after day, day after day. I speak in the faces and voices of loved ones. I caress you with a gentle breeze that refreshes and delights you. I speak softly in the depths of your spirit, where I have taken up residence.

You can find Me in each moment, when you have eyes that see and ears that hear. Ask My Spirit to sharpen your spiritual eyesight and hearing. I rejoice each time you discover My Presence. Practice looking and listening for Me during quiet intervals. Gradually you will find Me in more and more of your moments. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me above all else.

Psalm 8:1-4

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants, you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

Psalm 19:1-2

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

1 Cor. 6:19

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God. Your body is not your own. You were bought at a price; therefore honor God with your body.
