Contemplations of the day...

Hello Partay People!
I hope You're all having a great day! The weather is perfect for some hot cocoa and a quiet read today, so I am here to report that I plan on taking full advantage of this blessed day. Sometimes these gloomy days bring out the 'Sadness and Infinite Meloncholy' within us but the Lord knows and the spirit interceded for us...
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.(Romans 8:26-27)
This is at least encouraging to me because it reminds of Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
and Zech 2:13
Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
There is no need to fret, no need to worry, though there are many reasons to do so, Just be still and know God, know that he has roused himsels on your behalf, trust that he will help you overcome as he overcomes the world for you. It is a perfect day to sit and be still before the Lord. It is a perfect day to sit and read of God and his many adventures and wonders. It is a perfect day to talk to God. It is a perfect day to listen to the Father. Most importantly it is a perfect day to spend with your first love, He needs it just as much as you.
John 14:22
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 15:9
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
John 16:27
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
John 14:13-14
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Well I hope you all are having a great day and I pray you trust and know the spirit will always intercede for you. Love you all ; )
