A Sabbath Moment

quietly, I listen
quietly, I ponder
quietly, I hear the wind
quietly, the Spirit is with me
quiet... shhhhhh
     quiet...
          quiet...
quietly, I cry
quietly, I listen 
     ...and tend to His still, small voice

    “Be still, and know that I am God.
        I will be exalted among the nations,
        I will be exalted in the earth!”

(Psalm 46:10 ESV)

quietly, I am still
quietly, I sing
quiet... 
     quiet...
          quiet...
quietly, I listen

    Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
        and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
    And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
        and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.
    My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
        in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

(Isaiah 32:16-18 ESV)


    The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
        they break forth into singing.

(Isaiah 14:7 ESV)

quietly, I rest
quietly, I sleep in His arms
quietly, I know
quiet...
     quiet...
          quiet...
listen...

    The LORD your God is in your midst,
        a mighty one who will save;
    he will rejoice over you with gladness;
        he will quiet you by his love;
    he will exult over you with loud singing.

(Zephaniah 3:17 ESV)



I am...

Pretty wild. Haven't been in touch in a while. Must catch up soon. Love you and your dear husband! If I can figure out how to Follow your Blog, I will :) I don't use all the fancy stuff, just FB.
