What To Do With ALL That Time?

I believe that when I am in heaven, I might spend the first 1,000 years reading God's Word over & over while telling him face-to-face what an AWESOME GOD HE IS! His Word says:  "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." John 10:27-28.

I know & hear His voice, I love His voice; I trust His voice... God, guide my feet to follow Your Voice! You are Amazing God!

BONUS LYRICS TODAY...  Indescribable, Artist(Band):Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

Sometimes I Get SO Tired

photo by Tom Getz

I'm tired -- are you?  I'm tired in ways that make sense. But, I'm tired in ways that no sense at all to most people. I struggle with depression & anxiety issues.  I'm not SAD... I'm just tired. The most mundane things often take insurmountable strength to even begin. Lately the demands of life have been big & non-stop in my world.

Thankfully, I boldly claim the words in the Bible as promises which will not be broken. They bring me strengthening JOY!

"So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time." ...as spoken by God in Galatians 6:9 

I take things one day at a time (sometimes one moment at a time).  It helps that way.  God always seems to give me the strength to accomplish what I feel He is telling me to do.  So, I press on toward the goal... taking it moment by moment on some days and relying on many of God's promises, like this one:

 "As your days, so shall your strength be." Deuteronomy 33:25b

Keep up the work for God with strength & direction that only come from Him!

Rest in Him with me, knowing that He will renew our spirits in accordance with:

"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength."  Isaiah 30:15
