In this busy season we are all rushing around to get things done.  So many decisions, errands, and things to do.  If the Lord could pull you aside and just sit down with you and speak His heart to you, this is what I think He would say.  I am the Rock that is higher than you and your circumstances.  I am your Rock in whom you can take refuge--Any time, any place.  Come to Me, beloved: rest in the Peace of My Presence.  Take a break from trying to figure it all out.  Admit that many, many things are beyond your understanding and your control.  My ways and my thoughts are higher than yours, as the heavens are higher than the earth.

When the world around you looks confusing and evil appears to be winning, remember this: I am the Light that keeps on shinning in all situations.  And light always overcomes darkness.

Since you are my follower, I want you to shine brightly in this troubled world.  Whisper My Name; sing songs of praise.  Tell others about me.  Spread My joy__that I am Savior, who is Christ the Lord!  I am also the One who is with you continually.  Keep lookimg for Me and My Presence will illuminate your path.
