My soul longs, yes, even faints for
the courts of the Lord; my heart and
my flesh cry out for the living God.
Psalm 84:2 NKJV
As I wrote on January 1, this will be a year of change and growth for me...
the courts of the Lord; my heart and
my flesh cry out for the living God.
Psalm 84:2 NKJV
As I wrote on January 1, this will be a year of change and growth for me...
There will be new ministry outreaches, as well. Yet it's also going to be a year for a host of new trials and tribulations to come my way. But for now I need to continue to remain still as I wait upon the Lord to renew my strength and refresh my spirit.
And as I enter 2008 with a degree of physical and emotional weariness, my soul seeks for greater intimacy with my heavenly Father. Nevertheless, I've no doubt that all is well with my soul. And this is because Jesus loves me. He lives in my heart, and He knows me better than I know myself.
Christ, you see, is a "Friend" who sticks closer than a brother. He has promised never to leave or forsake me, not even when I fail Him. In addition, the Lord has noticed my tears. He is attentive when I call. And no man, nor any "fiery" trial, could ever succeed in plucking me out of His strong yet tender hands.
Amen.
D.B.
