[Choose Ye This Day]

Peace, solitude, and communion with God:

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God...

Matthew 11:23 Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mark 6:31 Come ye, yourselves, apart into a desert place and rest awhile.

Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out into a solitary place and prayed.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I Kings chapter 19 verses 11-12


11. And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

12. And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Thank you oh so very much for the excellent passages from Scripture!!!

GOD, the Master, The Holy of Israel,
has this solemn counsel:

"Your salvation requires you to turn back to Me
and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves.
Your strength will come from settling down
in complete dependence on Me--
The very thing
you've been unwilling to do.

Isaiah 30:15, Message

The Carbine translation (w/ NKJV):

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says:

"In repentance and rest
Is your Salvation;
In quietness and trust
Is your Strength...

...but you must choose it."

Amen. We choose all anew this day.
