19 Sep - Isaiah 30:12-33:12; Galatians 5:1-12; Psalm 63; Proverbs 23:22

My soul longs for you. Remember the dry time of your life.
Yes I do, just slightly more than a decade ago, I have no vision, I am all alone. It was not that aimless, but even the purpose of wealth creation and entertainment does not satisfy my soul.
As I wait and seek, God bless me with a wonderful, wonderful family. He showed me the place and the people.

Yes, I pray and ask, when is the intent for this place and people, that the Lord has for me. How do I start, whom can I contact and where do I start, besides how?

As Isaish spoke about the destruction of the land, I can feel the Lord's heart beat, His sadness as the land was filled with evil and pride and many other gold-plated idols. He wanted the land to be pure and the people live in His promise, without fear or threathen.

Isa 30:15"“In returning [1] and rest you shall be saved;in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

He called us again and again to return. When we are out and feel so down, please remember the Lord and His great intent. Seeking the world brings about a temporal happiness.

Isa 30:29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel

Yes, even in the presence of our enemy. Look up and not down, look far and not at what a arm length away.

Isa 33:5 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness,6 and he will be the stability of your times,abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is Zion's [7] treasure.

Now therefore let us exalt our God the Lord! That we can always shout fresh shout of joy to Him.

In fact, Lord, I look forward next year - as the Lord leads, set my feet nearer to the intent you have for me. I look forward to the exciting time installed for my family and I.

Lastly, from Psa63
63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;my soul thirsts for you;my flesh faints for you,as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,beholding your power and glory.3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,my lips will praise you.4 So I will bless you as long as I live;in your name I will lift up my hands.
