watch and believe

I savour nothing more than 
the Lord's words spoken to me 
in the early morning hours
priceless life to me

I use everything from the greatest to the smallest
I transform tears into glory
did I not turn blood into salvation?
How much more can I transform all things?

Only watch and believe
be strong in the waiting
have I not already commanded you
strong and courageous

I Am in the stillness
when you think I Am not moving

Know and believe

Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.
Exodus 14:13-14

flexible strength

In the quiet hours

the Lord shared His recipe

for flexibility---

My desire is that you would make much of Me

Am I not big enough to carry all that concerns you?

I carry you, all of you, large and small

I see - do not doubt my vision

As you surrender I can move you easily

according to My will

Think of the pasta you cooked yesterday

when it is raw it is hard, sharp, brittle

if you try in any way to change its shape

it snaps, shatters, breaks

but once submitted to the water

it softens in surrender

Yet in that same softness

it becomes unbreakable

Can you allow Me to do as I will?

beyond your tiny understanding

even when the waters are hot and painful?

Even when you fear you won't be able to breathe

in the abundance of heavy steam?

Breathe in Me

I Am always the safest place

even when I Am transforming you

Continue to bathe and soak in Me

lest you grow hard again

“And I will bring the third part through the fire,

 Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. 

They will call on My name, And I will listen and answer them; 

I will say, ‘They are My people,’ 

And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’” 

Zechariah 13:9 Amplified
