CONCERNS OF THE HEART

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still
talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers.
Isaiah 65:24

Concerns of The Heart

Literally, I had no agenda. Many things had been on my mind, though.
Several situations I'd been mulling over. A few people that had been
especially on my heart. Some unresolved issues stewing in the back
corners of my brain.

So, I had no agenda when we went to this church for an evening service
of refreshing and renewing. I just know that there would be a time to
be quiet and be still before the Lord.

With beautiful music in the background, I began to zone out, let my
mind wander. As I was still, sitting there, I felt so thankful to be
in the presence of the Lord. God began to whisper softly to me, not
in an audible voice, but ever so gently. He began addressing one by
one the concerns of my heart. Gradually I began to be aware that He
was sharing with me direction and answers to these unspoken concerns.

Later, I thought about how amazing God is. Amazing God! Amazing
grace! How good to remember that God knows our deepest needs and
desires before they are even fully formed in our minds, or on our
lips. And, that in His time, the perfect time, He will answer the
concerns of our hearts. Even if we have 'no agenda'.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for sharing the Word, the wisdom, the love of
our heavenly Father with us. In the name of Jesus! Amen.
