He utters His voice, the earth melts.

[Inhale.]

Talk about a powerful truth. Best part about it, is it isn't a song lyric or something clever someone said, its a Psalm.

Psalm 46 speaks so loudly of the power of our God, the strength of our creator, our sustainer.

This is from my journal this morning:

"Its so good for me to pray with my team, as a body, a community. Sitting here praising God, listening to Johanna pray in Estonian and Andrus play "Carried to the Table" is perfect. All I need is coffee and I'm good :). He simply utters a sound of His voice, and the earth melts. Sheesh, talk about power. Consume me from the inside out, Lord. From my heart and my sou to the world. Fully for you. For you and you alone. Awake my soul. In this nation, awakening."

Sometimes I get so caught up in everything, all these ministries, all of these groups and communities and I forget that I just need to be still in the presence of my God, the King. I want to change my heart so that my actions and life follow, not the other way around.

Why do I do this?

Because He is who He says He is. Simple. Peace and empty hands.

I wrote this in my journal the other night:

Lord, your embrace is my air.

"So, breathe, Samantha. I AM holding you."

[Exhale.]
