Momentum



Life doesn't wait till pandemics are over, the election is decided, or the crisis of the moment is solved. It just keeps going. The good thing about this season is, I have slowed enough to feel the wind of progress blowing softy against my face. I am taking the time to seek wisdom, counsel, and to make good decisions. There is a clarity in the atmosphere despite the smoke and fear and anxiety that seems to be trying to take us out at any moment.

I keep hearing the words "think higher." "Think outside the box." "See from the perspective of the Throne Room of God." "Say yes and see what happens." "New opportunities are here." "Step in, step forward, trust God."

When I turn off the news and tune into God, I hear a different story. It may not be clear. He hasn't shown me what's ahead. But there is an assurance of promises kept because that is who He is! He has great things ahead for this nation if we will only watch for Him in anticipation and trust.

This is an exciting time if we position our hearts to see it.

"My Peace I Give to You"

Today I am feeling un-peaceful. It is all I can do to settle my spirit. I clean my living room, play with Duke, listen to some soft music, talk to a friend...but still...

Then I remember a special verse. One that has life in it. One that speaks truth to me. One that says "I am real; I am truth; I know..."

"My peace I give to you," it says. It comes from the only one strong enough and able enough to grant that peace. 

I will take it. I will take it. Thank you.

John 14:27 - "I leave the gift of peace with you - my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts - instead - be courageous!" (The Passion Translation)

"I'm no longer a slave to fear. I am a child of God. Full of faith. I am a child of God." (From song No Longer Slaves" by Jonathan David and Melissa Helzer
