Fountain of Life

Psalm 62:1

I wait quietly before God,

   for my salvation comes

   from Him.  (NLT)

     It is in the Presence of our gracious God and Savior that awes our hearts into quiet submission, for it is here that we always find the peace that comforts our weary souls. And the Lord delights in the quiet times we spend with Him.  Charles Spurgeon, explained it this way: “It is an eminent work of grace to bring down the will and subdue the affections, so that the mind lies before the Lord like the sea beneath the wind, ready to be moved by every breath of His mouth.” It is when we quiet our hearts and wait patiently for His reply that we hear God's Still Small Voice drawing us gently into His Presence where He can touch our lives in just the right way.  There is neither a man nor a plan from this world that is able to offer us a perfect life that never ends—a life that so many of us long for—an eternal longing that God has put deep into the very fibers of our being.  Only the Plan of Salvation can deliver the promised gift of everlasting life, where every child of God will live perfect lives and be able to walk and talk with the Creator at any time.

    Whenever you wait quietly in the Presence of the Lord, you are silently telling God that you are faithfully trusting Him to do what is best for you; that you are confident He is who He says He is and will do what He promises He will do.  When you know that your salvation is secured safely in the nail scared hands of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, there is absolutely nothing that can take your life out of His hands.  Because the great minds of mankind tell us this life is an accident and it is all we have, people have always been searching for that fountain of youth that could keep them from getting old and dying.  And since these same great minds think this earth is our home, they are always coming up with new ways to save the planet from self-destruction.  But the reality, my friends, is we cannot save ourselves from death nor can we save this earth, because this earth and all those who belong to it will one day perish and be replaced for those who belong to God.  Jesus is our Fountain for life!

                                       A Whisper of Hope

Quiet your heart, dear child…and listen closely for My voice to be calling you into salvation.  When you are quiet and patiently waiting, you can be sure that I Am not doing the same, for My Plan is always working, and My Fountain is always flowing!

Zechariah 2:13

Be silent before the LORD, all humanity,

for He is springing into action from His holy dwelling.  (NLT)

But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength.
