"The unfolding of your words give light; it gives understanding to the simple." ~Psalm 119:130  

Dig into the Truth.  The Truth - God's Word - it anchors your heart. It anchors your soul. The Truth anchors the mind.  When the world starts to speak too loud - the Truth has a way of pulling you back home. Home to Jesus.

“God is the God of “right now.” He doesn’t want you sitting around regretting yesterday. Nor does He want you wringing your hands and worrying about the future. He wants you focusing on what He is saying to you and putting in front of you … right now.”   ~Priscilla Shirer

God , pick up the pieces.      Put me back together again.      You are my praise! ~Jeremiah 17:14 (MSG)  

"I have promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Your deepest, most constant need is for My Peace. I have planted Peace in the garden on your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of those weeds. I do My work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me, I shine the Life of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trials into your life. When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank Me for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure." ~Jesus Calling, Sarah Young

They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there. The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, “Why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up. Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee that he had to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up?” Then they remembered Jesus’ words. ~Luke 24:4-8 (MSG)
