And you will say in that day:
I will give thanks to You, O LORD,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away. Isaiah 11:1
With joy, I will draw from the wells of salvation.
Great in your midst is the Holy One. Isaiah 11:6
That is the best news I can ever know.
The Holy One. In our midst.
Not because we are righteous but because He is.
The Messiah, a branch of Jesse.
Posting early notice: His Kingdom will not be of this world.
And He will reign with justice and kindness and righteousness.
His Kingdom will know no end.
"There shall be great peace and quiet in his government." M. Henry
There needs to be the same in each of our lives.
No show. No display. No favorites.
Just peace and quiet.
Hope for the Darkest of Days. Isaiah 12:6 "Great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."
How True. How Beautiful.
We are fully loved this moment, this midst that we are in.
We are fully known in our darkest moments.
“It is precisely because we resist the darkness that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core.”~ Thomas Moore, Dark Nights of the Soul.
PHOTO: A very dark day on Santa Rosa Island. Thinking about how we are not evil yet do evil things. We are righteous. Called to peace and quietness in the midst of our deep darkness. Big difference between evil people and those pursuing peace.

A God Who sweeps His Hand (Isa 11:15) across my raging waters that I may cross in sandals not sails. Dryshod! All impediments to His Will dried up on both sides.
He Himself is Our Peace - Ephesians 2:14.
Wonder how my day would have looked different if I truly believed that
He Himself is Our Peace.
There are moments where I am so "at war" in my mind
to believe the best, to not blameshift, to rest at being not doing.
It's not about things:
MORE: going well,
ALL: being solved,
LESS: having fewer problems
He Himself is Our Peace.
No solutions. No formulas. No outlines. No cheat sheets.
So, what stirs in you this day as you process life?
