listening

I took time in the silence of the early morning to sit in my Jesus chair, journal in hand, asking the Lord about the word I sensed He gave me for 2014.

Prepare.  That is the word I believe You gave me for this year beginning.  Was I hearing You correctly Lord?  Is there more you want to share today?

You listen well, little one.  I Am pleased when you search My Word to find My heart.  You are wise to acknowledge that all is in My hands and that your part is to surrender to My work.  Yes, much is being prepared for you.  Much has been prepared long, long ago, just waiting for you to walk the path you are now stepping upon.

I know what I know what I have always known.

The surprises that await you will not be a surprise to Me.  FInd strength and peace in that.

a bit later, as I was riding my recumbent exercycle, praising and praying, He added to His words:

Many take the fast road, most take the low road.  I have you on the high road, walking with Me.  And I built the road long, long before, knowing, always knowing you would be here now.

So let your life relax in Mine.  I have loved you from the beginning.  I know the plans I have. A good plan that has you standing in the light, carrying the light.

There will be a highway called the Holy Road. No one rude or rebellious is permitted on this road. It’s for God’s people exclusively — impossible to get lost on this road. 
Isaiah 35:8 The Message

Oh, Karin what a gift to be invited into your conversation with our Lord. You do hear well....thank you for sharing with us. I especially liked that version of the high road verse in Isaiah.
Lots of adventures ahead for you.

Now that is a word, of all words. :) Perfect, ain't it?
