A wish is ethereal
Blowing away on the wind
God’s Promises are made of substance
Rock solid
When the storms come
When the winds blow fierce
My emotions may blow hither and yon
But in my spirit there is a Strong Place
Built on Truth, not circumstances
Built on Word and Promises
Tested and tried
Rock solid
So I quiet my tumultuous emotions, and hush my anxious thoughts
And look to see that my feet are planted on Solid Rock
Immovable
Unshakeable
Tested and tried
Still following,
Elizabeth

Oh that I would be found on the Rock, Christ Jesus. I want to set my roots deep, so that when the storms come I will not be moved!
ReplyDeleteoh, i've missed you friend. you always offer such beauty, such wisdom. thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou expressed it. . . perfectly (seems inadequate). I have been battling, "wishing you well. . . wishing you blessings." I need another vehicle to deliver my sentiment!!
ReplyDeleteI've stood on that rock. I've been buffetted by brutal winds that tried to break me. And, God, tested and true, kept me safe and strong! It is about calming your breath, controlling your thoughts. My thoughts were, "Just be with me." And He was.
Your words are a blessing reminder!
