QUIET IN THE BIG CITY
We
have cast this page in a "brown study" for a reason. Along with the
noise of modern life, I find that
we often are offended by bright lights.
They are everywhere. Darkness is not safe because wicked
men hide in the
dark. So, sometimes it is nice to be alone in the dark, IF it is safe.
I have
tried to make this page safe, quiet, and comfortable.

Psalm
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
and he inclined unto me, and heard
my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible
pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And
he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God: many shall
see it,
and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man
that maketh the LORD
his trust, and respecteth not the proud,
nor such
as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful
works
which thou hast done, and thy
thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot
be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would
declare and speak of them,
they are more
than can be numbered.
No one recognized
this quiet place. It is a Promenade along the Hudson River in Brooklyn, NYC.
All I can tell you is that it is about two blocks west of Henry Street. One of
our readers
finds peace and quiet here, especially in the winter. This shows
that the hungry
soul will be satisfied if that soul is focused on the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Psalm
107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful
works to the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth
the hungry soul with goodness.
Our
God is standing right there next to you. Are you hungry, lonely, or troubled?
Just turn and talk to him. He already knows what you need. He is living in the
future-- your future. Whatever he just allowed to happen to you today, he knew
what the end would be, and he planned for you to bear it and get the victory.
Go on, just tell him. Ask HIM the tough question, and see what he says.
Psalm
107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he
hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
I would be delighted
to hear you say so by e-mail.
One sentence--
That you believe that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way.

You asked for an email from this area of your website and here it is.
I am done making my 2 key lime pies, setting the table for tomorow, etc., etc.,
and after checking the "news" of the day before bedtime, I needed something to calm my spirit.
I knew I could come to the "Quiet Place" and redirect my thoughts.Things are so incredibly bad and crazy in the world I want to cry.
However, the Lord showed me very deeply and personally Psalm 32 this afternoon.
What a wonderful series of promises He made me today...Good Night,
Libby================
Just wanted to drop you a note to say....
Stumbling over your website tonight, has been a true found-blessing.
I savor every moment when I can be alone with the Lord in a quiet place.
I am thankful for the Lord drawing me into this website like a magnet.Will be back again soon.
Have a blessed evening.[ Editor: I am getting a lot of mail in the evening. I think many of us get down
from the sorrows and struggles of the day, and the evening can become
very depressing. Please bookmark us and stop by later this evening. :-) ]================
Hi Steve,
My quiet place I use now is in the cab of my pickup.
In the mornings that I arrive work in my pickup and I usually stay in for a few minutes of quiet time,
read my Bible, or just plain thinking about something.
I have five young kids (ages 8 months to 9 years old) so you know how crazy that gets :-).
During the summer when it is not raining I use my motorbike to commute
so I have to find somewhere else for a quiet place. Oh well... Take care and God bless,Richard
================
I love to sit and read in my husbands recliner.
It's the most comfortable spot in the house. Couple that with a cup of coffee and
quiet peaceful morning hours ( before children are awake! ) and its the perfect spot.[ Editor: Jamie's husband is in Iraq with the US Marines ]
================
My favorite quiet place is sitting next to my window. From there I can watch the
squirls playing, eating, sunnying themselves on the shed roof, and burying their nuts.
I've seen a rabbit eating clover and a rat jumping or crawling through the grass. I've
seen numerous bugs and butterflies. I've seen a mother mocking bird stuffing her baby
with wild strawberries, and wren chicks learning to look for their own bugs. I've seen
birds bathing in the lawn mower cover after there'd been rain. I can see the beautiful
trees and blue sky and clouds. The violets color the grass with white and purple in early
spring, and the bleeding heart blooms below in early summer.I've watched tiny, gray-blue gnat catchers gleaning bugs on the cedar tree, and seen
the wood pile grow and dwindle. I've watched a robin listening for worms and seen
cardinals and blue jays gathering food along the hedge. This year I had a beautiful
display of morning glories as well. It is a sweet place to read my Bible and pray, write
or just think and ponder. I don't need a window on the world. God has given me a window
on His creation.Isaiah 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation.

I
am getting very little mail from this section of our journal.
I
would dearly love to hear from anyone who stops here and
is blessed and helped.
You need to believe that there is NO
section more important to me, in this
journal, than the Quiet Place.
