Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour

Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

awww...

I find this moment... at the end of a long day... that's not quite finished...

Taking a deep breath...
remembering He is good...
taking in His glory...

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;

And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

Psalm 19: 1 NASB

Amen...

patience... needed...

Patience...
I thought I had more than a bit...
today... I'm not so sure...

A slow... really... slow... computer...
reveals my impatience...
another on the fritz... highlights it bright...

I'm reminded of yesterday's moment of burden...
I suspect it was rooted in impatience...

The story I heard... centered on prayer...
a couple praying for twelve years... every day...
then one day... they recognized their prayers answered...

That's when the burden was uncovered...
the heart pressed...

Seeing today's impatience makes me connect it to the story of prayer...

You see... there are things I've been praying for a long time...
years... and... years...

Instead of seeing encouragement in the story on answered prayer...
impatience surfaced...
the weight of waiting making me weary...

So here's the confession...
I... am... impatient...

Wondering what repentance looks like...
Another long haul...?
hmmm...

Cultivating patience is a long process...
waiting on... hoping for... hope...
surety of what I do not see...
certainty of what I hope for...

You also be patient. Establish your hearts,

for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

James 5:8 ESV

Patience... expecting Him... any moment...

moments...

Moments...
He revealed Himself today...
in odd moments...

A day pressed...
in a very full week...
moments of joy...
burst through...
unexpected...

A story over lunch...
heart stirred...
in a moment...
a burden revealed...
emotion overwhelms...

Moments...
He reveals His presence...
His love...
His grace...
in the oddest moments...

What moments did you have today...?

You go before me and follow me.

You place your hand of blessing on my head.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too great for me to understand!

Psalm 138:6 NLT
