The life of a worshiper_ Speak Lord

Somewhere between the sand dunes and the ocean waves my heart cried out to you.
Somewhere between the motions of daily life and the quest for something greater.
Somewhere in the middle of trying to find my balance,
They say 'it's out there'... but I've been searching for it for a while.
Somehow, I needed a break and I went in search of it.

Boa Vista...
48 hours of bliss! Lounging on the beach, walking in the sand dunes.
Wondering, walking, wandering...
Like those diving for lost treasure, in my heart somewhere is a treasure I've lost sight of.
A treasure, I had lost sight of.
My vision, askew.
My focus, dim.
A treasure, I had lost sight of.
Wondering, walking, wandering....
I called out to You.
My heart longed for you, this priceless treasure, the connection I had with you, to hear your voice,
To see your face,
To walk with you
To wonder at you
To wander with you
To be lost in your awe and wonder.

And so my heart called out to you, from its depths.
Like deep calling out to deep
Like the Ocean calling out to the wanderers
Like the dunes calling out to the adventurers
My heart called out to you ...
And from the depth of this longing "Speak Lord" was born.
And in that moment, I knew you were with me, are with me, will always be with me.
There's never a moment when I'm alone.
And like the Psalmist says, 'there's no place I can hide from your presence for you are always with me.'
This assurance I have that when I settle down at your feet to hear you speak, you will speak to my soul,
You will speak words over me, words of peace, words of assurance, words of hope and words of life
For in that moment I realised that 'You Are'.

"And blessed  is  she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." Luke 1:45 (KJV) "Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever and do as You have spoken," 2 Samuel 7:25 (NASB) Has the Lord given you a word?  Has it been fulfilled?  Hold on to His word in faith until it is fulfilled.  Give Him praise for fulling his word in your life. Be thankful and bless his name until you see it come to pass.  Mary heard the angel speak to her and he informed her of things to come. She believed, and there was a performance of the words that were spoken. David heard the words of God spoken to him through God's prophet and revealed to him by prophecy. He believed and prayed for its fulfillment.  Many times we receive a word from God, through revelation or through prophecy. What do we do with these words? Let's hold on t...

Song Alert: Kind - Amanda Cook

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." (Psalm 84:11) "The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness." (Psalm 145:8) NASB "The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." (Psalm 103:8) "Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;" (Exodus 34:6) I've been thinking for a few years about doing blog posts on songs that I'm listening to at a particular time; songs that have ministered to me in a particular season and helped me walk through some though times - but it's just been a thought.  Today, I decided to start that first blog post on these songs. For lack of creativity or bursting ingenuity, I'll call these posts 'Song Alert'. So to...

One day at a time

I'm learning to live one day at a time. I once read a book that talked about living in 'day tight compartments'. Somehow, that phrase has been stuck in my mind. And for a good reason too. When I tend to worry and fret about the future, I remember, 'Sufficient unto the day... Matthew 6:34 '.  Several things have motivated this conscious decision, the first reason was the need to end all the craziness of worrying about the future and learning to trust God for every little victory. I needed to understand that I have to live every moment and truly enjoy it. Notice I said 'live', better still LIVE! Not live in the future, when life is what I think it should be, but LIVE NOW! in the present, enjoy the journey, and even if I don't get to my Utopia, the most important thing is that I enjoyed the journey. And in the journey, I lived! (that doesn't sound like it makes much sense, but I think it does ... somehow :D). Second wake up call was a message by J...
