Simply Know HIM

I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.  He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.  He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.  Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.  The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.  Then I said, "Here I am, I have come - it is written about me in the scroll.  I desire to do your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart."

Psalm 40:1-7

No matter how hard our circumstances can become in life, God sees it all, knows it all and is above it all and HE lives in His children!  If God were to correct our circumstances, even one minute before His perfect time, we would miss His absolute best for us, and most of all, we would miss our opportunity to trust Him and know Him during the hard times.  Sometimes God calls us to simply KNOW Him above all else, which is the sweetest calling of all - but we must Stop, be Still, Listen and Receive Him.  Then, no matter what our situation, we have experienced HIM - the Peace that passes understanding and the Joy beyond all circumstantial happiness.

God bless your day,
