BE STILL & KNOW~SHABBAT EVE; Ocean Park-WA

We spent about half an hour this afternoon cruising the peninsula beach, and watched a couple eagles:

Bald-Headed Eagle & Crow

Adult + Juvenile Bald-Headed Eagle

Bald-Headed Eagle eating, with Seagulls.

3 Bald-Headed Eagles & Seagulls.

Juvenile Bald-Headed Eagle.

Watching them, two scriptures came to mind … Elohim highlighted these scriptures to me in 2022: “let the dead bury their dead, you come and follow Me”, and “be still and know that I am God” – which I interpret to mean, be still/rest/let Him deal with it.

I can do that.

There are a few things on my mind, and a couple people pressing on my heart: today is Shabbat, time to rest, shrug off pressing needs and focus on Elohim.

I can do that.

Divine Hymns - 'Be Still And Know That I Am God Song' Lyrics: 

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1Jk5vEavZ8)

Yeshua is my spiritual Husband, and He will work things out for my best end; I don’t have to understand it. I don’t have to be given a detailed outline of how He will accomplish it. I just have to know that He is doing it – and have faith that it is getting done.

Today's eagle's were timely.

A memory was brought to mind - also timely.

“Be still/rest/let Him deal with it": today is all about being still in the presence of Yeshua, resting in Elohim's grace, & letting the Ruach HaKo'desh work things out. I don’t have to be given a detailed outline of how things will be accomplished … I just have to know that He is doing it – and have faith that it is getting done.

I can do that.

YOU ARE WORTH THE REST~Shabbat/Yuma-AZ

Tonight, set down the load you’re carrying. Even if it’s just a bit, or it all, or for a short time. 

Sometimes it’s heavy, sometimes we don’t even know it’s there, sometimes it’s too much, and sometimes it can be scary to let it go. 

That letting go part can be hard because we have to be strong and carrying the burdens and worries and to-do lists and expectations, while too much, keeps us focused on the strong because we fear we might break.

And our intimate relationships need the strong. 

So we keep going. 

But the load is heavy.

And you, my friend, need that breath.

You need the moment of peace on your heart, hope in your soul, and refreshment for your spirit.

You are worth the rest.

You are worth the peace.

You are worth the calm.

You are worth the break.

You are worth it.

So tonight, for this 24-hour Sabbath Rest, just let some go.

Suck in deep gulps of Elohim's peace … and breathe hope, and calm.

Breathe.
