Come Forth as Gold
"Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee"
Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God

What May Come

How fitting that my favorite verse (one of the top 5 for sure) is Psalms 46:1-3

God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam,though the mountains tremble at its swelling.

It seems this is a favorite verse, one the Lord has ingrained upon my heart and mind b/c there have been so many times in my life where the earth has given way in a sense. Whether it be a divorce, a death, anxiety, a long-term illness....etc and now this sudden possibibilty of having a tumor... and yet, we know that He is a VERY present help...a current, a NOW, an in-the-moment, down-on-your knees, help.
He is a refuge - there is nothing more an ill or weak person (whether that be physically or emotionally) longs for than a refuge. What is a refuge? The literal hebrew word means "shelter". Oh how we, how I, need a shelter from the storms that beat down. Thank God that He is a shelter. I am told not to fear BECAUSE I have the strength and shelter of the Most High upon me.
Lord, I pray You grant me the grace to trust in Your word, and in the truth that YOU are my shelter, that YOU have me in your right hand. That i am Your's, I am taken care of. Whatever may come.
