Rest and Wait. Watchwords for this year 2013.
Psalm 27:14 says Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
This new year finds us in the midst of a trial that is a steep learning curve of resting in the Lord, staying silent and letting Him fight the battle.
Psalm 27:8 You have said, "Seek my face."
My heart says to you, "Your face, Lord, do I seek."
And we rest. And we wait. And we know our Father has designed all things for good.
Steve Green's song, "Rest" is a theme song that plays often in my head.
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy his love
Trust, His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days
There is no need
For needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever
Doubt His perfect word
Still reassures
In any trial
Rest the Lord is there
Lift up your prayer
For He is strong
Trust, He'll bring release
And perfect peace
Will calm your mind
There is no need
For needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever
Doubt His perfect word
Still reassures
In any trial
Call Him, if you grow frightened
Call Him, with loving care
He'll lift the burden and you'll
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
Trust His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
