Stop and Listen (Word from the Lord series)
by Marijo Phelps(231)
Daughter, quiet yourself before me. Stop all your running around, beating your wings and listen.
Your walk with me is grounded on the ROCK. It is based on My immutable character, not your froth or fervor.
At times you're lazy and complacent but it matters not to me in the way you perceive it. Let me teach you in those times then lift you above them.
There are areas in your life to be worked out and healed. They don't go by a wave of the hand but in my perfect process.
All that looks confusing to you isn't bad. You see the situation from in the midst of it and that isn't a complete or total view. Trust me.
I long to love you to a greater fullness in me, not punish. Let me help you bloom again and again in my timing. Selah.
Job 34:2
"Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning. (NIV)
2 Samuel 7:28
O Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. (NIV)
Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (NIV)
Prayer: Dear Jesus, please help us to act like we really do trust in You and not to just repeat the words. Help us to lean into You and rely on You and find that incredible reward of Your strength and stability in our own weak times. AMEN
