Thou shall keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusts in Thee. Isaiah 26:3 Tranquility is hard to find in prison. There's too much energy locked inside the bodies of these men... Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help. Psalm 86:1 NLT My weekend was a spiritually productive one... Fear God, and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment
has come: and worship Him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:7 During the past week I have been reading through portions of the book of Revelation. And this morning I was discussing some of my insights from Revelation with a friend. I shared with him how we Christians usually think of Revelation as a book of judgment where the wrath of God comes upon a lost world of Christ-hating, sinful rebels, and God's justice is thus rightfully meted out upon them... Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:1-2 My heart has been heavy because I think my Dad is going to die soon. He's been in pain for a long time... Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them... Matthew 6:26a The common sparrows who use my window's small ledge as their daily meeting place seem oblivious to winter's frigid weather. Be it sunny and mild, or snowy and cold, each morning and at various times throughout the day, they'd perch on the ledge and sing their songs and discuss bird matters... The winter has thus far been disappointingly mild. I was hoping for more snow. This is a selfish wish, of course. But there is something both tranquil and therapeutic about cold winter nights and waking up to find the ground covered with snow...
