Static Cling


Day 84
You have to pray through -- through to the other side of the thing -- to the place of the substance of what's hoped for. What are you hoping for? What should you be hoping for?

Ask Me to keep you stuck to my side like static cling -- yes, cling to Me so that my presence, my character, my spirit come pouring out through your life.


Pray through to the place of faith. To be found in Christ Jesus -- that's the place. Immersed. Perfect Peace. Every thing of the devil, the world, and the flesh quenched by the power of the fullness of my mighty Spirit. There is a place you can go. You'll be okay.

Help, God—the bottom has fallen out of my life! Master, hear my cry for help! Listen hard! Open your ears! Listen to my cries for mercy. If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance? As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that's why you're worshiped. I pray to God—my life a prayer—and wait for what he'll say and do. My life's on the line before God, my Lord, waiting and watching till morning, waiting and watching till morning. O Israel, wait and watch for God— with God's arrival comes love, with God's arrival comes generous redemption [Psalm 130:1-7].

People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don't quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a sure thing. The path of right-living people is level. The Leveler evens the road for the right-living. We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions. Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want [Isaiah 26:3,4,7,8 The Message].
