Resurrection Hope Part 2

Stilled in Counsel (to be read slowly)

How many times I have come to You
So angry
So frustrated

In You is stillness

You understand
Compassionate, Yet Balanced
You Bring a Word in Season
Instructing me
Gently and in Wisdom
Teaching me something important
Restoring my balance
And guiding me firmly

In my despair
You watched with a Wise Compassionate heart
You understand with strength
and Counsel with Wisdom and Firmness
over time

You teach me what is really Important
And instruct me in the right way to go
"This is the Way you are to live"

Yet You Love me with a Sincere love
that Protects and lasts
and You don't forget me
And You teach me not to forget others either
You mature me and chastise me
You rebuke me and refine me
Making me like how I am supposed to be

Thank You for Fathering me
And treating me as a son
And teaching me to Fear You
Thank You for Your Daily Bread

Staple and balanced
You are Genuine and real
When the music Fades
You never leave

When Your Presence falls
I have been stilled
and contented

This is what The Soverign LORD, the Holy One of Israel says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, In quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.
Isaiah 30:15
New International Version

Thank You Jesus

Hey,
Thanks for the post!
Great, and precious words!
We are so free in victory, God gets you through anything, even exams :) ..He has his hand on your shoulder always. (and steadies us)

esp. like the bit about him watching over us with a wise compassionate heart.

Its great seeing God in work in other places and other hearts.
Peace be in you always..
God bless

Your words remind me of an old-fashioned Bible phrase - a "Balm of Gilead". Precious, soothing, cleansing and healing.

Love LAlways
