"Peace, peace, wonderful peace. Coming down from the Father above Sweep over by spirit forever I pray in fathomless billows of love."
Jeff Kling - Revival at Bethel College Chapel 2-16-11
Purpose → Pursue
Addendum: 1/8/15 ~ I recorded in my journal the words of the old hymn that came to my mind during the night. It was (and is) reassuring and comforting to know that even after the disturbing reality that I wrote about yesterday, God's peace still fills our minds and thoughts. It has been amazing to me how that happens. God's peace, which comes as a result of praise, forms a protective shield around us. I've added all the words of the song below.
While listening to Jeff Kling's testimony given at Bethel College, I realized there is another "P" to go with the ones I wrote about on 2/9/11 for Psalm 7:1 – 8:9 The final "P" and a new meaning for one of the earlier ones. Purpose and Pursue.
Prayer → Purpose → Praise → Protection → Provision → Path → Promise → Purpose → Pursue
We cannot keep to ourselves what God has done for us and what we have learned during this seven year trial/trail. He has given us a PURPOSE and we must PURSUE it. It feels as if momentum is building, as if things are coming to a culmination. "The Book" (Her Name Was Jane) was always somewhere way out there into the future. But now, God is showing me what He wants done. See The LORD Answers! I still don't know when I am supposed to make this blog public, but we do know that the layers of God's plans are being peeled away.
God has given us a purpose and we will pursue it.
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!
And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be:
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!
Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!
