Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

STILL WATERS

LORD__I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR OUR NATIVE AMERICAN FRIENDS OF LONG AGO__WHO COULD KNEEL BESIDE STILL WATERS AND WORSHIP WHO THEY CONSIDERED THE GREAT SPIRIT.
EVEN THEIR HEARTS WERE DRAWN TO THE MIGHTY AND MAJESTIC OF YOUR CREATION. THEY TOO SAW THE ENDLESS SCOPE OF YOUR CREATIVE HAND. THEY WORSHIPED AND GAVE PRAISE. THOSE WHO WOULD LISTEN IN THE SILENCE AND FOLLOWED WHAT GRACE YOU HAD PLACED IN THEIR HEARTS.
TODAY__LIKE NO OTHER__WE NEED THAT SILENT PLACE__THAT PLACE BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
THERE IS TROUBLE ON EVERY HAND__ BUT WE FIX OUR EYES AND HEARTS UPON YOU LORD.
HELP US TO BECOME STILL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD.
LET YOUR PEACE ABIDE IN THE KINGDOM OF OUR HEARTS.
RENEW OUR MINDS WITH THE STRENGTH OF YOUR FELLOWSHIP__THAT STILL SMALL VOICE THAT SPEAKS WITH THUNDEROUS MIGHT IN THE INNER SANCTUARY__THAT WORD THAT PENETRATES TO THE DEPTHS OF OUR BEING, UNTIL WE CAN DO NOTHING ELSE BUT GLORIFY YOUR NAME__AND PRAISE YOUR NAME ABOVE ALL OTHERS.
THE AIR WAVES TODAY ARE FULL OF HORRENDOUS NOISE.
LORD__THANK YOU THAT I CAN COME AND KNEEL BESIDE YOUR STILL WATERS__THAT I CAN WALK IN YOUR SPIRIT__KNOWING THAT ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
THANK YOU FOR THE SILENCE__THANK YOU FOR STILL WATERS__I GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOR FOR THE GRACE THAT IS OURS IN YOU LORD, GENTLE SHEPHERD OF MY SOUL.
