Isaiah 55-2
"Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare."
This verse struck me. How often do I go after things that do not satisfy?
God help us to eat was is good
God help us to see what we are wasting our time and money on
God work in our lives
God lead us
God speak to us

Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening - Thursday, February 21, 2013
"He hath said."
Hebrews 13:5
If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said"? Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.

Breaking boundaries
Me: I don't know if I can trust you God
God: Well life is hard, but you may stop believing it. You will enter a circle of lies without me. You will tell yourself lies and believe it. Soon no one will be able to help you. You will rap yourself up so tight you can't listen anymore. Please stop you circles. Please stop your lies and let go. Let go of all you can't control.
Trust me!
Me: I trust you God
God: Great! Now things are going to be hard, but I am here. I am in control and I don't want you to forget that. I am leading your life and you are to follow me. Please listen to me Please spend time with me. This is my plan, you to reach from your impossible circumstances and trust me. I won't always move in miraculous ways but I always am with you. Remember this world is not the end so don't think it is all about the now. Remember that it is all about me, and not you. Trust me and I will change your life. Trust me and I will speak to you. Learn to listen to me. I created you and I have a plan for you! Please accept it
God show us how to open doors of silence
Teach us to trust you
God be on our lives
Teach us to listen
