• Quiet times with my baby

  I'm starting to have quiet times with my baby in the mornings.  I've been reading psalms to her and teaching her what it means and praying with her.  It occurred to me this morning as I prayed for her what a wonderful thing it will be for her to get to know God and walk with Him from an early age.   That wasn't something that I had... and I just hope that she will have more security, confidence and JOY as she puts her identity in Christ and puts her hope in Him.

  This morning, we talked about Psalm 62.

  "My soul finds rest in God" - again, reminded that though our bodies ache for physical rest, true rest only comes from God.  If we don't give God our "selves", we will always be restless and tired.  (Great reminder during these exhausting days of caring for her as a newborn.)

  "Trust in him at all times...pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." 
  "Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods..."
  "Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love."

  My baby and I talked about being people of integrity.  We never have to steal, cheat or manipulate because we can trust God.  Because power belongs to Him, He is able to meet and provide for all our needs.  And because of His unfailing love, we know He will meet our needs, specifically.  He loves us.  Pretty awesome.  I pray that we will be a people of integrity who always trust God and do what is right.
