Jesus said, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water shall flow from the inmost being of anyone who believes in me."

John 7:38

What a wonderful promise! Are you thirsty? I am. I am thirsty for peace and purpose in my life. "Lord, I come to you parched in this dry and weary land. Fill us all up with peace. Fill us all up with your purpose."

The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalms 27:1

What a wonderful promise! Who is your Light? Who is your Salvation? (And my favorite...) Who is your Stronghold? With God as your Light, Salvation and Stronghold, there is nothing you need to fear. I know it's easier said that done, but still, it's a great starting place.

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details."

--Albert Einstein

This week, I've had some trouble sleeping. Not sure why, but it's frustrating only getting a few hours of sleep a night. On Monday, I found these wonderful verses from Psalms 4. Good stuff. It opens with: Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer (verse 1). And closes with: I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety (verse 8). Read it. Ponder it. Dwell on the goodness of God. Through the strength and encouragement of this verse, I now spend my sleepless evenings in prayer and worship. If I am unable to sleep, then at least I will enjoy that time with my Father.
