March 11 ~

It is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain salvation upon you ... Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm ... "How wonderfully he has done everything! He even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak" ... For from him and through him and to him are all things ...
Hos.10:12 (RSV); Matt.8:25,26 (KJV); Mk.7:37 (JBP); Rom.11:36 (NIV)

If there's a glorious, joy-producing thing
it's absolute surrender to my King
-- acknowledging His total sov'reignty:
accepting that He sends all things to me
in perfect Love, thus daring truly trust
-- trust that He works all for my good -- and must!
In other words, dare take Him at His Word,
accepting that all things my Lord averred
and promised in His Book are so, are true:
that He controls my day, will always do
for me whatever's truly needful, right.
Lo! -- from and to and through the Lord of Light
- praise Him! - are all things. All! I'm naught but clay
and He the perfect Potter. Have Thy Way!

... in Your book all the days of my life were written, before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them ... Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel ... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow ... I have told you these things so that in Me you may have perfect peace and confidence ... Submit yourselves therefore to God ...
Ps.139:16 (Amp); Jer.18:6 (KJV): Matt.6:33,34 (KJV); Jn.16:33 (Amp); Js.4:7 (RSV).
