Day 86: March 26, 2016 You Don't Have This - Rest

March 26, 2016 You Don't Have This - Rest
Day 86

I have a lot to say to a lot of people. Should you be doing this? Can I help you with that? Why are you doing this? Why are you not doing that? Don't you think it would be helpful if you followed this way? If you simply do this then this will happen. Honestly, I think a book of strong suggestions, authored by moi, would be a best seller.

My mind swims with advice. I am frustrated, disturbed and sickened to the core by much. And in all of this muck He stops me. I hear Him say, "I AM WHO I AM."

He gently holds me until I stop fighting with righteous indignation. With all the work that needs done, He does something I will never understand. He leads me to clear waters and green grass. This is no time for a vacation, God of wonder?! Are you sure this is the right time and place?

This truth takes a long time to sink in, hence the stream, hence the green grass. I need time to digest this truth - "I AM WHO I AM. " And I am not.

"Hey, dear one, slow down," He speaks as He leads me to the stream to rest. "Renew your senseless expended energy. Sweet thing, eat." Is He tracking? This does not seem like the time to chill and grill. God?!!!

In my spirit He affirms - "I AM WHO I AM." You are not. Rest.

He helps me see my time of fellowship with Him as the most important time I can have. He renews my strength and leads me to essentials. "I AM WHO I AM." I am not. My eyes can close because His eyes do not. This is not my problem.

Savior gently leads me to the water,

to rich soul food by the stream

Rests my head upon 

His strong broad shoulder,

fills my heart replacing screams

Truth comes slowly

Truth come slowly

He allows the truth 

at our own pace.

Truth comes slowly

Truth comes slowly

Never changing 

always true and full

of grace.

There He shows me all of His great wonders

Mysteries beyond I cannot trace

Scars too rough to look away, not notice

As our palms are face to face

Truth comes slowly

Truth come slowly

He allows the truth 

at our own pace.

Truth comes slowly

Truth comes slowly

Never changing 

always true and full

of grace.

*Psalm 23
