...but whoever listens to Me

will dwell secure

    and will be at ease,

without dread of disaster.

                Proverbs 1. 33

(The journey,

the process,

the outcome,

will never be the same

  when we listen,

        respond,

        and follow Him.

Did it occur to me

   to ask God about this?

Did it occur to me

           to listen to Him?

At ease

does not mean the easiest

     and most comfortable,

but peaceful and purposeful,

no matter the dire circumstances,

knowing the LORD

  is not just in this,

                 but with me.)

O LORD,

We seek You,

not just an open door,

or a new pathway,

or the easiest way through,

or a favorable answer

       of our own surmising.

We seek You.

We come before You

not to tell You what to do,

   but to listen and respond.

And to know Your Presence.
