Find Rest, O My Soul.
Isaiah 42:3 "A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick, He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice." This prophecy is about the Coming Christ. This Son of God is tender toward those who are suffering, the bruised and the broken; the dimly burning and the delicate. He knows our frame. He will never allow more suffering than for our good. Whatever comes our way, we have a Savior who will bear us up, bring us up, and give birth to Something New. Isa 42:9; 43:1-4.This is my world today.
I Thes 1:1 - Paul says grace to you. Oh, this day, may grace abound in the pounding of our hearts. "For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you...your faith toward God has gone forth."
I Thes 1:8. Is there any other way to truly live?
May the words of my mouth this day,
this urgent matter at hand,
may it be the Word,
may my faith be known,
not my dilemma.
For we have all turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God. And wait for Him. I'm not waiting on any man. I Thes 1:9. Not waiting on any report. Those are just words on a paper. I have the true Word, the Living Word.
And we accept this Word for what it truly is. The Word of God. Not the word of man.
12/13/13 The news came swift on that day and as sudden as the day closed yesterday, a newly diagnosed tumor. I was prepared for it as I went through the door of the oncologist's office. I knew. I'll visit a surgeon today. I did. The surgeon says it is nothing to be concerned about. That was exactly 10 years ago. I'm still here.
