Sound Counsel

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Reminder

"A holy, joyful expectancy is of the very essence of true waiting. And, this is not only true in reference to the many varied requests every believer has to make, but most especially to the one great petition which ought to be the chief thing every heart seeks for itself---that the life of God in the soul may have full sway. That Christ may be fully formed within, and that we may be filled to all the fullness of God. This is what God has promised. This is what God's people too little seek, very often because they do not believe it possible. This is what we ought to seek and dare to expect, because God is able and waiting to work it in us." - from Waiting on God by Andrew Murray

Let me bear fruit

"Be my strong habitation, To which I may resort continually;" Psalm 71: 3 (partial) I really like this verse. I need God's shelter all the time! I sometimes wonder how I am ever going to be what I am called to be according to God's word. And then I am reminded of John 15:4-5: "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." I love that. We are required to walk a narrow path - but the direction also blessedly requires that we stay close to our Savior's heart always. Praise Jesus Christ!
