The destination is in You, Lord.
The outcome is peace
Contentment
Shalom and joy.
Attached to the Rock
And immoveable in all storms
Still at rest in You
Because You are.
You are greater than all which we must witness and endure in this life.
Evil is.
Hardship
Suffering
Obstacles
Injustice
Grief
But there You are through it.
The heartbeat of Your love ever rhythmically pouring forth
Meeting us in our pain
Weeping with us.
By the power of Your cross,
bringing Your ultimate victory to each one who would choose You.
Drawing us in
Drawing us forward
To life with You
Bliss!
Forever.
Our Father,
You are in heaven
Holy is Your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
You give us this day our daily bread
Praise You,
For forgiving how we violate relationship with You
When we are unfaithful.
Praise You,
Because of love and for love’s sake
You ask us to do the same
For others.
You lead us not into temptation.
And You
Yes, You alone
Deliver us from evil.
Amen.
For Yours singularly is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory
Now and forever
Yes, now and forever,..
Selah!
A yearning gaze at You
The sigh of knowing
Relief!
Awe
Bowed-down joy
It is not a life of action You seek
But being in You and with You
In union.
Out of this place the actions flow
Infused with You
Breath of Your Spirit
At work
Here
In our midst
Palpable
Present
Working
Love.
You are the Source of all
You are the destination.
The goal
To live in You as You live in us
Through it all
Every moment
(((Savor)))
Now through forever
Selah…and Amen…
END

I am a God-seeker--a Jesus-worshipper--a Holy Spirit follower. I create songs, devotions, prayers, books and Bible studies to give words with which to get to know God more. For you. Its for one-on-One encounter unto transformed, transcendent living.
This is not my vocation. I am not professional. I am a real, ordinary person just looking to do what God put me here to do. (You have a unique purpose too.) So I am called to the work. It is not my income source, but my gift to those who find it blessing. Eagles Nest Foundation sponsors all projects for you.
The result: pure, clean spiritual nutrition to feed that deep insatiable spiritual hunger which eventually overtakes each of us and galvanizes you to the life God has for you.
This life is purposeful. Exceptional. You--yes, you--are called to something greater and more satisfying in His service. So it is hoped you'll try this spiritually dense nutrition and find it to be a personal blessing. However, the goodness of God-following doesn't stop there. He uses those who seek Him to be His love and care (justice, mercy, advocate, kindness) very tangibly in the lives of those around you. Not by your power but by His. His ideas. God ideas. Not just good ideas. To be part of changing the world, if you will let Him.
You learn to just follow where He leads. That if you listen, He will teach you to hear His voice and then when you obey His inner promptings you will become His incredible hands and feet in this hard world. These materials will help! They will help you aim your life towards God in a way you never look back. You will not be the same. He will become the River in your desert spaces and you will become a conduit of this same River of refreshing, replenishing Water of Life to others. Find a prayer. Pick a blog post. Read a book. Be led deeper into the Bible. Select a song which resonates and use it and use it again to go close and ever closer to the God who longs to draw you near.
Oh, and don't be tempted to think I'm a crazy over-spiritualized loony...My background is financial planning and counseling. Almost 40 years of it. To choose to believe in God is not to leave practicality and reason behind, but to learn that there is that which goes beyond it and includes it, unto true life fulfillment beyond all your dreams for the one who keeps seeking Him.
I am a third generation Californian. I am a person to whom family means everything. The only priority higher is God. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada are my home. It is here the 1849-1856 Gold Rush is still glorified. Easy money? Actually only for the few. Even though I was raised in the Church, it took me ten years of doubting God even existed to realize that without Him, no matter how much of this life's "stuff" is accumulated, I actually have nothing. To come to know that all those who chased after gold are dead and all those who still chase stuff will be dead. That's when I became a God-seeker. Looking for that more. And Eureka! (This is California's state slogan and means I found it.) I found God...or rather, I discovered He was there and had been there waiting for me to look for Him the whole time. May you discover more of Him for you, greater flourishing life and greater flourishing for all in the world as well.
God bless you!
~Elizabeth
