He left the note where he knew his wife would find it. The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 A.M. and he had missed his flight.
Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It's 5:00 A.M. Wake up."
It is in Christ that we find out who
we are and what we are living for.
Long before we first heard of
Christ and got our hopes up,
he had his eye on us, had
designs on us for glorious
living, part of the overall
purpose he is working
out in everything and
everyone.
Ephesians 1:11
The Message Bible
I Needed the Quiet
- I needed the quiet so He drew me aside,
Into the shadows where we could confide,
Away from the bustle where all the day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.
- I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled
But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never dreamed of when active all day.
He loved me so greatly He drew me away.
- I needed the quiet, no prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead.
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide,
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.
