“I will sing to the Lord, for
He is highly exalted; -- the Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my
salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him; my father’s God; and I will
praise Him; my father’s God, and I will extol Him.
“The Lord is a warrior; the
Lord is His name. – And in the greatness of Thine excellence Thou dost
overthrow those who rise up against Thee; Thou dost send forth Thy burning
anger, and it consumes them as chaff.
“Who is like Thee among the
gods, O Lord? Who is like Thee, majestic
in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? – In Thy lovingkindness Thou
hast led the people whom Thou hast redeemed; Thy strength Thou hast guided them
to Thy holy habitation.”
Exodus 15:1b-13 various
What
a peculiar balance the children of the Father have...one of reverence and awe
and of a close intimacy that is from the inside out. Yet this is what we inherit as His
children...both, not just one.
[Jesus
speaking] “’Come to Me, all who are weary
and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.’” Matthew 11:28-30
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
