New Year Thoughts

New Year is a good time to think, assess, contemplate... be still... listen...

My musings led me along this line of thought... Simplicity... God in all... that's my desire for the year ahead...

"In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength." Isaiah 30:15 (Amplified Bible)

"Let be and be still, and know [recognise and understand] that I am God." Psalm 46:10 (Amplified Bible)

"Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle [meek] and humble [lowly] in heart, and you will find rest [relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet] for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome [useful, good - not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant], and My burden is light and easy to be borne." Matthew 11:29-30 (Amplified Bible)

This post on one of my favourite Blogs really resonated with me and her heart seeks similar things. I also found this post on another of my favourtie Blogs really helpful (click the link at the end of her entry to see the full article) in the striding out into the coming year.

...A heart that seeks God finds Him...
