My soul finds rest in God Alone

The understanding that the God of Heaven and Earth reveals His will to people is overwhelming.  To try to get my mind wrapped around the idea that the Prince of Peace, Lord of All, Great I AM even gives me a second of thought is, well - just too much to take in.  And yet He does.  When I sit in the quiet, calm my heart and listen to the whisper, His Spirit speaks to my Spirit. 

Each revelation of God is unique. Treasures to be stored in my heart. (Matt 6:20) Some are meant to be shared, to sit with family members or girlfriends or those in our "safe circle" of co-workers and tell our "God story".  Some to be coveted known only by the individual and Her Creator.  The revelation so profound it is intended to be pondered in the soul of the receiver, alone.

Be discerning about which you choose to do.  

I recently had opportunity to sit in a hotel room and talk openly about some of the revelations God had implanted in my Spirit through the years.  It was a humbling time of speaking to a new  sister in Christ, a beautiful teenage girl who is now learning to turn to God for the truth.  The Spirit  of God heavy in the room, I was choosing my words and stories to share carefully so as to represent Jesus favorably.  As this young believer, her father and I spent the afternoon talking about the grace and redemption of God, I was reminded of something Beth Moore said in her "Beloved Disciple" study- "our only job as humans is to make God recognizable to the world".  

As we sat in that hotel room, the grace and hope of a future with God was revealed.  The hope so tangible as to bring tears to our eyes.  The Spirit of the Living God was administering a healing balm on all of us. Truth was setting us free. By His stripes healing was taking place. 

I didn't know it at the time, but God intervened and gave me a day of peace, rest for my soul in the middle of a season of turmoil and death.  God is love. 

A couple hours later, Satan showed up again to take his paw and swing his destruction.  Doing his evil best to shatter the hope, peace and grace.  Beware the roaring lion, he has strong teeth and mighty swiping paws. 

But, my soul finds rest in God Alone...We live by faith and not by sight.

Psalm 62:5-6 
My soul, find rest in God
My hope comes from him 
Truly He is My rock and My salvation 
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

So today, I embrace His new mercy and watch to see how He will reveal His glory to me.
