Just A Minute Please

This morning I awoke to words playing in my mind. There have been many times I have asked God to speak to me. This morning the Spirit is speaking as loudly as I have ever heard. He is using words that he had given to a man many years before-----will I stand on them now?
I was not going to share this but I feel like God wants me to. Sometimes I share the lessons and events of my life but not what led up to them. I think maybe God wants me to share this. Last night as I lay in bed thoughts of my son began to go through my mind. Tears came to my mind first and then my eyes. I am not often a person given to tears. And the situation with my son most often leads me to prayer than it does to tears. But last night my thoughts began to take me to areas that were deep in my heart. Keith, asked why I was crying. All I could think to say was, Do you think Michael loves us? He reached over to pull me to himself and said, He says he does.
How precious is the tender love of my husband. We have not always had this. For many years I felt I was walking alone in our marriage. God has used the last several months to give me something that I had always longed for---a feeling of security and safety in my man. Like my Father in heaven, Keith's love makes me feel secure. He held me and let me cry. No words were necessary--I knew his heart was hurting too. We shared our pain. I love my man!

This life is meant to be worked out. Today in the acknowledgment that I am so weak and I can not do it on my own-- I am going to cling to the words spoken into my spirit by the very Spirit of the living God.
The one who brought us to this spot is able to keep us standing and walking. May you know today the overwhelming love of our Father. May it make you stand a little taller. May there be a spark in your inner man that draws attention to our God. May you know deep in your inner core that you are loved more than life itself. After all ---that is the message of this week.
OUR GOD LIVES!

AND HERE ARE THE WORDS THAT WERE PLAYING IN MY MIND AS I WOKE THIS MORNING.

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
through eternal ages let his praises ring;
glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of Christ my Savior;
standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
by the living Word of God I shall prevail,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain)

3. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,
overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain)

4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
resting in my Savior as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain) 

Let's do this thing.
