Multiple things
Good morning! As I write, I'm listening to Misty Edwards- I am Yours- good song if you haven't heard it. It talks about hearing His voice, when He says our name, my heart it years. When I heard His voice, when You said my name...my yearns...in the middle of the night...my heart it yearns. May my heart always yearn for You O my LORD! I'm so thankful, soooooooo thankful for Him. I don't know if you experience the nights where the battle is real in your mind. But let me tell you- when you get up and meet with Him, He meets with You. I'm so thankful that He is my refuge and dwelling place. Psalm 91. I love when His Word becomes VERY real!
I've been reading the Daily Bread for our youth small groups and the days have been ministering to me! Today I read 2nd Corinthians 5. I loved reading these verses: For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Yes, Lord, may I no longer live for myself. I looked up the word control in the Greek- check this out....to hold together i.e. to compress (the ears, with a crowd or seige) or arrest (a prisoner). When looking at the ears- I imagine a riotous crowd- and picturing someone holding their ears tuning it out- so for our lives today- tuning out all the circumstances and listening to Him- ahhhh, i love it! Other meanings to compel, perplex (interesting), afflict- I really like these last two to preoccupy, to be taken with. Yes, may we be preoccupied with Jesus's love, yes, may we be taken with His love.
One last thought for today- yes, it's been a full day already! "The LORD is good to those that wait for Him. At our first entrance into the school of waiting upon God, is mainly set on the blessings which we wait for. God graciously sees our need and desire for help to educate us for something higher than we were thinking of. We were seeking gifts; He the giver longs to give Himselfand to satisfy the soul with His goodness. It is just for this reason that He often withholds the gift and that the time of waiting is so long."- From Waiting For God. Good things do come to those who wait. Wait....wait...wait...oh my soul...my soul waits in expectancy for my good God!!!!!!!!
