There has to be…

Wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, (Psalm 130:5-6 ESV)

 Are you going through a testing right now? Dearly beloved, you just get quiet and be still before the Lord and He will tell you why. Sometimes I know there are times when He doesn’t tell why, but as a rule He will tell you why.
 He will show you how to get all the sweetness out of it, and how to look to Him in such a way that He will teach you wonderful lessons from it. But you’ve got to get quiet. There has to be that sweet, still devotion, and then He can speak to your heart.
 The peace of God must quiet minds and rest hearts. Put our hand in the hand of God like a little child and let Him lead us out into the bright sunshine of His love. To you in the hospital, or at home in beds of sickness, or the troubled businessman riding in his car: God help you to trust Him. Be still.
 Let Him do the work for you. Perfect faith will bring the victory. Put your hand in God’s hands. God will work it out. Amen! —Virginia Brandt Berg [1]

 God’s presence is everywhere around us. God is able to penetrate and intertwine himself within the fibers of the human self in such a way that those who are enveloped in His loving companionship will never be alone. —Dallas Willard
