It's like these are the only words on the page and so I circle them.
It's a familiar verse. Are you like me? Do you just skim the familiar?
Do you sit in stunned silence when the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to what is in plain sight?
Come, take, learn.
I'm having difficulty putting into words why these three stir me this morning. But they do.
I know why "weary" does. Did you notice in my translation that the word "weary" is too tired to even stay together?
Ah, and "rest". It's in there twice. Lovely.
Gentle and humble. Jesus. My parched soul soaks it in.
Other things scream at me this morning as well.
What are we having for dinner?
Holy moly.
New year's resolutions.
But the screams of everyday life were quieter then the whispering of Jesus.
"Somebody needs to hear this today."
Is it you? It's definitely me.
"Jesus Calling" pointed me to these two scriptures today.
Both familiar.
Both already partially underlined in my Bible.
Both fresh today.
Because isn't the word of God like that? Something familiar being made fresh.
It's with tears that I pray for you. I don't know who all reads my blog, nor do I need to. But, whoever you are, know that today you were prayed for.
Prayers against fear. Prayers against discouragement.
Prayers for strength. Prayers for courage. Prayers for rest.
Come, take, learn.
