“"For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.”

Highlights
I woke up very early this morning worrying. Life looms larger in the darkness sometimes. I got up, made coffee and opened my bible app. The daily verse didn't speak. I then started scrolling through all my highlighted verses. I have verses highlighted back to 2012! These are verses that spoke to me directly; what I'd call highlighted by His spirit. Maybe verses I needed to hear. Comfort. Maybe a promise for the future. They were so good. The first entries were from Isaiah 54 so I read the whole chapter and cried. I'm so grateful for the highlights. I can see where He has been faithful to speak in the moments I can't hear anything but fear. I'd challenge you to start making note of scripture that seems to target you. Expect Him to fulfill His Word. His lovingkindness is never ending.

In The Stillness
There are many times in my day and night that the world seems to slow, and I become aware of me. The quiet, my mood, my heartbeat, my fear. Lately, every time I arrive at that place I feel anxiety, and then I hear, Fear Not.
I want to live fearlessly. I used to wake in the middle of the night feeling dread. I thought it was all the things I'd procrastinated, but as I've matured and stopped procrastinating, the feeling has remained. I know that's the enemy, and he had no right to my mind or my sleep. I want to train myself to know my heartbeat, but to hear His in the steadiness of the quiet. A little like touching the railing while walking down a stair case. It's there, ready for me.
“For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.”
Habakkuk 2:14 NLT

This is a promise. God plans to fill the earth with an awareness of Him. I want to be walking in that awareness, and be a railing for others. Ready. Still. An echo of the Fathers heartbeat. ❤️
