Peace and Patience - UBM [David Eells]

Peaceful wisdom. I am seeing someone today who is precious to the Lord, gifted of Him and serving God and those around you with all your might. But I also see you victimized by the tyranny of the urgent. At times you are almost frantic in responding to the random calls of legitimate needs. The Lord spoke these words to me for you to consider. The Holy Spirit, who fills and empowers you, is never in a hurry. Jesus is not frantic. The needs of people and the cares of this world have always been with us. They will continue. Your lot in life is to find peaceful wisdom and show it to the world about you by your countenance and actions (words, thoughts and deeds). And if you will do this, you will have done well. By the way, I love you and your good heart. Peaceful wisdom.

(Jas.3:17) But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable , full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

Note from David: I have always said that God starts on time to finish on time but when I begin to forget this I hear Isaiah: {Isa.28:16} therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -[stone] of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.

Even though Jesus was so busy ministering to the multitudes he was at peace. However, His friends thought he would surely break down: {Mar.3:20} And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. {21} And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. I don't know about you but sometimes I wish I would be beside myself; then I would have some more help.

{Mat.11:28} Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. {29} Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. {30} For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
