They will see the glory of the LORD,The majesty of our God. Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart,“Take courage, fear not.Behold, your God will come ... He will save you. ISAIAH 35
Life has been crazy lately. I have had some amazing, wonderful days spiritually, but they are ALWAYS followed by a day of waking up feeling sick, tired and all together horrible. The enemy is feeling threatened and waging war against me. This deployment is at the point where it is wearing on me as well. Today I was near my breaking point. I just needed to get out of the house. I headed to the Exchange on base to pick up a few things. When I was finished shopping I just did NOT want to go home.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,And marked off the heavens by the span,
And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure,And weighed the mountains in a balanceAnd the hills in a pair of scales? ISAIAH 40
I decided we'd head to the beach. I had been meaning to just spend a day at the beach playing and enjoying God's creation, and this was the perfect opportunity. My rumbling tummy reminded me I had not planned for lunch though, so we stopped at the gas station on base and picked up a loaf of bread, bottle of squeeze mayo, a pack of turkey bologna, a bag of Doritos and some Gatorade (and some honey green tea for me!) and made our way to the beach.
Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed;Save me and I will be saved,For You are my praise.Jeremiah 17
The beach is right on base, and I drive by it at least once a week, but we had ever stopped there. It is a LOVELY beach. A wall of driftwood all around keeps it contained, and another mom there informed me the water is only ankle deep for a long, long ways out. Which was perfect for me, because it meant I could get by with only keeping half an eye on the boys (Abigail didn't wander far from my blanket) and I could spent some time in the Bible I had thrown in the car on my way out the door.
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;For I have been called by Your name,O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15
The Lord was once again so good to refresh my soul, and offer me words of comfort. I just randomly opened it to Isaiah 40, then after that, every time I looked up to watch the children, the breeze would flip a few pages and end up at the PERFECT spot, telling me exactly what I needed to hear today.
Thus says the LORD,“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,Where the good way is, and walk in it;And you will find rest for your souls. JEREMIAH 6
We spent a few hours at the beach, and came home a refreshed, contented bunch!
And I was daily His delight,Rejoicing always before Him, Rejoicing in the world, His earth, PROVERBS 8
Heal me, O L
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;For I have been called by Your name,O L
Thus says the L
