PSALMS 62:5-8

I needed to place this somewhere, so why not share it with ya'll.

My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

This verse is where this hymn comes from

Only in God

Only in God is my soul at rest,
in him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock,
my strength and my salvation.

My stronghold, my Savior,
I shall not be afraid at all.
My stronghold, my Savior.
I shall not be moved.

Only in God is found safety,
when my enemy pursues me.
Only in God is found glory,
when I am found meek and found lowly.

My stronghold, my Savior,
I shall not be afraid at all.
My stronghold, my Savior.
I shall not be moved.
Only in God is my soul at rest,
in him comes my salvation.

MAY 8

O dear God, when darkness overshadows me, teach me that I am merely traveling through a tunnel. It will then be enough for me to know that someday it will be all right.
I have been told that someday I will stand at the top of the Mount of Olives and experience the height of resurrection glory. But heavenly Father, I want more-I want Calvary to lead up to it. I want to know that the shadows of darkness are the shade on a road--the road leading to your heavenly house. Teach me that the reason I must climb the hill is because Your house is there! Knowing this, I will not be hurt by sorrow, if i will only walk in the fire. -George Matheson

Waiting

I got this song off of Jennie's blog: http://abnerandjennie.blogspot.com/
Very simple lyrics, but a reminder for us all. Sometimes when we get impatient, don't you want to scream? I know i do! But God calls us to wait upon Him...and that doesn't mean to just sit and wait...I know if i just sit and wait, i get irritable (and want to scream). There are a lot of things in life that God tells us to wait for..A LOT!! but we need to remember to be patient and continue to serve Him and worship Him while we wait upon the Lord. (I especially enjoy and am challenged by the lyrics that i put in bold)

"WHILE I'M WAITING" JOHN WALLER

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord
