I would like to begin by saying, "Happy New Year!"
I know it's been a while since I have posted here. The beginning of 2012 reminds me of the old saying for March, "In like a lion... and I am praying it goes ...out like a lamb." 2012 has come in like a lion, that's for sure! That old lion, satan, is seeking whom he may devour. But I praise God for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! He reigns, Hallelujah! The phrase, "in like a lion" usually speaks of storms and wind. The enemy has tried to get me to run away from this violent storm I have found myself in. But, I have chosen to be like the eagle and instead of running from the storm I am facing, I am allowing it to lift me up closer to my God!
THIS STORM CALLED LIFE
As I face this storm called life
With all its worry and its strife
Sometimes I lose myself, it seems
All my hopes and all my dreams
The wave is big, the wave is high
I lift my eyes to God and cry
He hears my voice upon the wind
He turns His ear to me and then
He reaches down His nail scarred hand
He holds me up, He helps me stand
He chastises as He holds me near
Child of Mine, why did you fear
Remember, I am Love indeed
I will supply your every need
You are Mine, You are redeemed
Cast aside all unbelief
And every hindering weight that binds
Lay aside and leave behind
Lift your eyes and see My face
I am the prize for which you race
I am the wind beneath your wings
I am rejoicing in you as I sing
You are the apple of My eye
I hear even your faintest cry
I know your thoughts, I see your heart
I will never leave you nor depart
Don't be afraid of what you see
Deny yourself and trust in Me
Your faith will rise, your love will grow
I am Your God, be still and know
I reign throughout eternity
Where I am, you are with Me
I am STILL
Dwelling in Him,
Peggy
HI PEGGY, I LOVE THE WAY THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES YOU HIS WORDS IN POETRY FORM. AS I READ: "I KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS I SEE YOUR HEART" I AM REMINDED THAT THOSE ARE OUR SECRET PLACES. OUR MIND AND OUR HEART ARE THE GARDEN WHERE GOD MEETS WITH US. THE SERPENT HAS TRIED TO "WORM" HIS WAY INTO GOD'S GARDENS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. BUT JUST AS IT WAS FROM THE FIRST TIME HE TRIED, GOD'S FLAMING SWORD SHALL RESIST HIM AND CAUSE HIM TO FLEE AT EACH ATTEMPT. WE ARE SAFE AS WE REMAIN IN HIM. JM
