Calm Our Soul 3

Today's thought...

Be prepared.  Plan for the next day and make a list.  It will help make your day go smoother.


1 Peter 3:15  -  "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"


New Years Eve was a different night for me this year.  My three teenagers were out with their friends so Ron and I were home alone.  As I had time to reflect on all the changes 2011 brought to me and my family I was humbled and reminded of God's provision, protection and promises.  As I thought about what 2012, God strongly impressed on my heart one word - "Prepare".  God has consistently reminded me of the need to "prepare".  


There are many ways He has shown me and instructed me to prepare this year.  I don't feel the need to share with you the hows, for I only want to challenge you to ask God yourself, "What does "Prepare" mean to me?" 


So, be prepared...  Plan...  Don't wait till tomorrow.  Don't be like me and say, "I'll take care of that tomorrow".   Right Ron???

Calm Our Soul 2

Today's thought...

Listen to the music of silence, the symphony of water, and the gentle strum of your heart strings as you calm your soul.

Psalm 46:10 - "He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Stop the rush of life and hear the music of peace, the gentle sound of flowing water as it cleans your thoughts and soul.  Feel your heart beat and allow the presence of the Holy Spirit to fill you entire body, mind and soul.  Know that God is near....  rest.

Calm Our Soul 1

Today's thought:

"To have strong roots is perhaps what the human soul needs most though we may not know it".  -  Unknown

Jeremiah 17:8  "They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."


So, what does this mean to you?  Find a quiet place, close your eyes and see yourself, (the roots of who you are), sinking deep.  What are you sinking deep into?  Is it a place of peace?  If not, is there something in your life that is keeping your roots from be planted deep into the character of God?

Praying for you today!

Grow your roots strong and deep  -  Sheila
