Peace Like a River...

I have had an overwhelming sense of peace these past few days and I KNOW that it is all because of the Beth Moore Bible Study I am participating in...Breaking Free.

Last night as I was sitting at the bar working on the study, my sweet friend Amy sent me a text message. We were talking back and forth about where we are literally and emotionally with our journey to become parents. In between texts, I read this...

"Sometimes when we finally give up trying to discover all the answers to the why's in our lives and decide to trust a sovereign God, unexpected peace washes over us like a summer rain."

Now if that's not God talking to us right there, I don't know what is!!

Then I read this verse...

"Then you would have had peace like a river and righteousness rolling like waves." ~Isaiah 48:18

And yet another sign...

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." ~Isaiah 43:2-3

Beth Moore said it best when she said...

"To have peace like a river is to have security and tranquility of heart and mind while meeting many bumps and unexcpected turns on our life's journey through change. Peace is submission to a trustworthy Authority, not resignation form all activity."

Please Lord...continue to give me peace like a river.
