Come to the Quiet
Sometimes we need to get away from it all, just get away. Allow God to lead us beside the still waters...so He can restore our souls. Sometimes we have to get away from people and other distractors in order to hear His gentle spirit. I've seen a lot of people respond to the altar call and profess Jesus as their personal savior...only to live like He is their Public savior. We read the part about fasting in the New Testament and miss the message how some were not blessed because they made themselves look raggedy, and prayed out loud on the roof tops. God wants to have a very personal relationship with us. He wants to fellowship with us...the way He intended before sin broke the connection. Jesus came to restore that connection so that we can be intimate with the Father once again. Yet, a lot of us fellowship with Him on Sundays and Wednesdays. Let's find a time in our chaotic schedules to take a walk with Jesus. Walk in the forrest, or beside a river/stream. I remember reading somewhere that God's character can be found in nature. Let's return to the quiet to be with Him, and Celebrate with a loud shout and praise when we are together! I love you all...see ya Sunday.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.
The deer is responding to an intenal work that is happening. He is searching for water because of the internal thirst. We serach for God for a lot of reasons, but the thing I see over and over. It has to come from a hunger a thirst to be with him.
If I search for any other reason, I believe I am in error. For head knowledge/ NO!...For Experiential knowledge/ NO! I search because he alone has the words and presence of life that will get me through this stinking day.
