Me: Deep in my heart I know what needs to be done Turn off distractions and spend time with the Son The Father is waiting for me with open arms Sending His Holy Spirit to expose evil’s charms Lord: Come aside and spend time in our secret place Trade holy thoughts for the carnal, commonplace Esteem My Words higher than the world’s voice Time is running out, so make the right choice Set your hand to the plow and do not look back Enter into My Presence where there is no lack The harvest is ready, whom can I send? What I am planning you cannot comprehend My way is not your way, so you must draw close to hear The Words I am speaking come not through your ear Give up those things of the world you hold dear My glory will descend and make My way clear Debbie Furey January 27, 2023 Matthew 6:5-6 – “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Luke 9:62 – “Jesus replied, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”’ Proverbs 20:4 – “Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.” Isaiah 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” John 10:1-18 Isaiah 60, 61
