When you feel a little unrooted in the world, root into scripture. Grow deep strong roots that tap into eternal life through Jesus Christ. Feast on the peace that can only be gained through Jesus.
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
Verse 7 continues with a beautiful promise of the growth and peace of His heavenly Kingdom.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Isaiah 9:7 NKJV
Thank you, Lord, for this reminder of the soul-soothing peace that can only be found through You. I will use the Word of God like a balm to condition my weathered flesh and nourish my thirsty soul. When I try to do it all and find the days too short and the mornings too soon remind me to sit at Your feet and just linger. Encourage me to look around and notice the beauty of creation in the painted sky and the welcoming chirp of birds ushering in a new day. A new day, a new opportunity to lovingly serve my Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
-Amen
May the words that flow from me Lord be filled with Your message and when I am obedient may they be backed by the Holy Spirit. When I serve righteously let none of the words, I utter in praise of You fall to the ground. Help me to craft every word, may they pierce hearts and refresh weary souls. This gift is Yours; God I simply aim to use it for your glory.
