And now, you are going over to possess a land that drinks by the rain from heaven. Lives that soak up the Living Waters poured down from Above. People whom the LORD cares for! "The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon [your life], from the beginning of the year to the end of the year." Deut 11:11-12.
May your hearts be full of this Word.
May your eyes be fixed on this Word.
May your tongues be full of this Word.
Deut 11:18.
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Father, may we never forget where we have come from, what we have seen with our own eyes. May we treasure this Living Word that has already changed us. Rain down on us this day. Torrents of grace in all that we do.
PHOTO: Standing in a little rain, watching the thunder clouds roll in. Thinking about this conversation I had with a friend: "Ask yourself: 'What's not happening that needs to happen.' Dread is the old man hating no 'return on his investment.' When it is all right that others don't love you back, then you are glad to see them, and you are different." So let go, Bev. Let go of having anyone have to love you and respond to you. Let go. And here comes the rain!
After the trials, the promise: Deuteronomy 11:13 -14: “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. 15 And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full".
ReplyDeleteFollow and remember, and don't fall away or things will get worse. That's it, just follow, listen and obey. I'm starting to get it. It sure took a long time, a lot of trials, a lot of pain. Being full of what God has for me. Not worrying. Trusting, Following. Loving the life He has carefully laid out for me.
Today, I am in awe and wonder. How He loves me.
It is such a faith builder to look back and know how He has carried us. Even when I am longing for a fresh work of Grace, I stand firm in the rich soil of His provision throughout these fifty four years. He is faithful. He will see us through. Wild Grace abounds just ahead. ..just ahead.
