Come…
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, come.
If you’re feeling grateful or expectant, come.
If you’re feeling joyful or grievous, confident or doubtful, encouraged or frustrated, come.“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!”
Psalm 95:6There’s something about falling on our faces before the One who created us—and everything that exists—that reminds us of who He is and who we are not.
When was the last time you stopped—in your car, in your kitchen, in your rushing, in your humanness—to simply come to God?
When you notice a gorgeous sunset, come.
When you can’t see through your tears, come.
When you’re captivated by a child’s smile, come.
When you’re overwhelmed by bad news, come.
When you’re motivated to make an impact, come.
When you’re deflated beyond words, come.Come to the Lord, your Maker.
He has already come to you.

God hears me
Wow, God is listening to me.
I saved the verse image and I’m sure I had some more profound insight and thoughts. I should have added my thoughts right then and there. Note to self ?
Waiting seems to be a big theme in a lot of the Bible. The challenge I think is to wait confidently

Relationship Journey
Surrendering our lives to Jesus is not an oath of perfection; it’s a statement of allegiance. It’s not just one moment in our lives. It’s a reorientation and alignment of our hearts to bring our minds, emotions, and wills into daily submission to his plan and purpose for us. Life is a journey in relationship with Jesus, following him each step of the way. We experience a life of freedom and fruitfulness through a succession of individual days of following him.

He is mighty to save…
when I need saving.
When I enter into the arena of anxiety about a possible issue, it’s as if I’m going into battle alone against that issue. His strength and power is available to us as we need it. I have seen Him provide peace, strength, and help so many times in my life when I needed it. But His Word does not promise strength and help before we need it. I might be facing the news of a bad diagnosis and all of the health challenges that come along with it, but until I am actually facing it, I do not have His strength and help for this particular issue or crisis. This reminder has helped me relinquish fears and trust that no matter what happens, He is mighty to save…when I need saving.
Such a good devotion, real! -
Thanksgiving: Thankful
I’m happy to be Yours. That closing sentence really resonated with me this morning during devotions when this prayer came up from the list.
Thank you
I’m grateful
Jesus, thank You for Your life on earth—for the time You spent teaching us, loving us, and suffering on our behalf. I’m grateful You made a way for us to have an eternal relationship with You. You are my everything—I’m happy to be Yours. Amen.

Help me live a life that reflects who you are
“God, I know your desires and plans for my life are much better than what I could come up with on my own. Show me the best way to live, and give me a genuine desire to follow your ways. Help me live a life that reflects who you are. Amen.”
From Pray Through the Psalms: Day 13 • Devotional
The “help me to live a life” caught my attention. Don’t we all need help in how we live our life?
And then there was one of my favorite verses.

My Mom
Every time I come to this verse I think about my Mom.
On one of the rare times we talked about faith, it was just the two of us and she shared about driving home from the funeral of her brother Ken in Montreal. She said this verse got her through some tough time.
“I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? (No!)
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!”
Psalms 121:1-2 NLT

Resurrection needs death
this is the paradoxical way Ezekiel’s story unfolds. Maybe that’s how it goes for all of us. We hold in tension the beauty of resurrection against a backdrop of death. Because resurrection is only necessary if we go through death. We must face the weight and terror of death to behold the beauty of resurrection. The two are inextricably linked.

Eternity
Where will you spend it?
Today’s devotion also lead to reading about Arthur Stace, Mr. Eternity. I highly recommend giving it a read.
And as things do on the web it lead to a look at Copperplate Script which lead to a calligraphy course which I might try.
