Joy in my soul
Good Morning brothers and sisters. I pray this day finds you well. This morning the alarm clock went off and I woke up with joy in my soul. There was some names that kept coming to mind, and I know when that happens then I need to pray. I don't know what I am praying for but pray none the less. But I didn't get up right away. When I had finished praying for those that were brought to mind, I felt the presence of God say, be still and rest in my arms. So I laid there with my eyes closed, believe it or not, not a thought one going through my head. And if any of you know me, then that is a miracle just itself. But not one thought. I laid there and there was a peace and a joy that I could not explain. There was a song in my heart. I felt God sitting right there with me, saying I am holding you, my beloved, just rest. And I did. As I got up and got me some coffee, scripture came to mind and what a scripture it is to claim. Psalm 57:7-11- My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise. Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be above all the earth. Wake up with a song in your heart. Please if God is asking you to be still and just rest in His arms, there is no greater feeling than resting in the Heavenly Father's arms. Have a blessed day and rise up children of God, rise up!
