Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” (Psalm 62:5-8)
The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. (Deuteronomy 33:25)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)
At the Foot of the Cross
By: Marcia Krugh Leaser, Source Unknown
Fearing the battle was over
And I’d already lost the war,
I was tired of trying and failing.
I just couldn’t fight anymore.
So, dragging my battle-scarred body,
I crawled to the foot of the cross.
And I sobbed. ‘Oh please, Father forgive me.
But I tried…I tried.. and still lost.’
Then the air grew silent around me.
I heard his voice just as clear as the dawn:
‘Oh, My child, though you are tired and weary,
You can’t stop, you have to go on.’
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10)
Have you ever done something so stupid that it didn’t even make sense to yourself? Did you want to go back and apologize to everyone who was along the way of that stupid decision? Well, I had a moment of stupidity just the other day. I was driving to pick my husband up from the airport and I made a human blunder, an error, a downright moment of stupidity. I was simply enjoying my time with the Lord. Some great Christian music playing in the background and thinking about all the Lord has been doing in my life. I was talking to God and sharing my thoughts with Him. I was so caught up in the moment that I slipped through a red light. Now, a quick disclaimer for my family (this is the first and hopefully the last time).
