Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! (Psalms 34:8 ESV)

So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Have I [not] even here [in the wilderness] looked upon Him Who sees me [and lived]? Or have I here also seen [the future purposes or designs of] Him Who sees me? Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me]; it is between Kadesh and Bered. (Genesis 16:13, 14 AMP)

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." (John 20:19 ESV)

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Colossians 3:15 ESV)

March 8, 2013 devotional

Save your best striving for seeking My face. I am constantly communicating with you. To find Me and hear My voice, you must seek Me above all else. Anything that you desire more than Me becomes an idol. When you are determined to her your own way, you blot Me out of your consciousness. Instead of single-mindlessly pursuing some goal, talk with Me about it. Let the Light of My Presence shine on this pursuit, so that you can see it from My Perspective. If the goal fits into My plans for you, I will help you reach it. If it is contrary to My will for you, I will gradually change the desire of your heart. Seek Me first and foremost; then the rest of your life will fall into place, piece by piece.

1 chronicles 16:11
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chronicles 16:11 NIV)

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33 NIV)

God help me seek you more. Let you be the first thing on my mind. I pray that I will treat our relationship with the value it deserves and that I will learn to talk to you more as you are always here. Thank you that you care enough to communicate to me, on even the little things. Amen.

March 3, 2013 AD devotional

I love you for who you are, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You most lean to discern what is My voice and what is not. Ask My Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of My children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with Me each moment, listening for My directives and enjoying My Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. My sheep knife My voice and follow Me wherever I lead.

Ephesians 4:1-6
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6 NIV)

John 10:4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. (John 10:4 NIV)

Thank you Father that your Grace and Love are gifts that I cannot earn. I thank you that your yoke is light. God I pray that I can submit more of myself to you and not the things of the world. Thank you for you steadfast unwavering love.
