"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

Focus: RHYTHM


 One Word for this Week:

RHYTHM

"... Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
 I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 
30 Keep company with me and you'll learn to live 
freely and lightly." Matthew 11:29b-30 MSG

The very first article in my RHYTHM search was:

"How You Can Find Rest in the Rhythms of Jesus"

and after that (& because I have her book)

"Rhythms of Renewal: Living with Rhythm"
by Rebekah Lyons

but before that 

"Rhythms of Work, Rest and Worship"

"Spiritual rhythms are your regular pattern of connecting with God" and it seems from the above articles that those rhythms include grace, rest, renewal, work and worship. 

RHYTHM

The other verses shared in FOCUS with this week's devotion:

1 John 2:6 CSB; Galatians 5:16 CSB; 
Deuteronomy 8:6 MSG; Genesis 6:9 NASB

"Jesus, set my RHYTHM; help me to follow."

💙my key favorites that stand out from Cleere Cherry Reaves

"... Jesus had a different RHYTHM..."

"...His (Jesus') RHTHYM was always adaptable to where His Father pointed."

 "...When we bring our imperfect selves to the feet of Jesus through the discipline of RHYTHM, we allow His perfection to shine through us." 


perhaps there will be more as I
 FOCUS on RHYTHM

This week's FOCUS TIP!

asking God  to help me 
set the perfect cadence - 
one that will give me peace & abundance."

I really 💙 this!

    My favorites from the book were:

    “The rhythm of Jesus was always in response to the priority of the One who was leading Him.”
    and “Setting a rhythm embraces the fluidity of life, knowing that we often won’t get it right or perfect but we will show up.”

    I’m looking forward to this week and a “rhythm of joy”!
