"Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day." Ruth 3:18 I came across this passage while reading through the book of Ruth this past week and thought it appropriate to not only share, but to encourage others who may be in a similar season. Being the introvert that I am, I don't mind to be alone or being quiet. But the topic of sitting still is a whole other requirement that I am not very good at...especially in this particular moment of my life. I really  want to know certain things: the ending to be more specific. Not to sound dramatic with that word choice "ending", but don't you think it'd be great to know if something is going to work out or not?  To my shame, that exact thought has been running through my head as I have been reading my Bible lately.

July is one and done...can you believe it?  I have been enjoying taking the time to (try and) memorize a hymn for each month of this year. While some songs have stuck more than others, I am enjoying the process.  This month's hymn is a very well-known one, The Doxology.   Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav'enly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Awake, my soul, and with the sun, Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and early rise, To pay thy morning sacrifice. Lord, I my vows to Thee renew. Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will; And with Thyself my spirt fill. Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design or do or say, That all my pow'rs, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.  What a beautiful song! I had no idea of the other verses but they are deeply moving. I pray that this song encourages your walk, and strengthens your faith.
