Thirst for Righteousness           by Clara Mitchell 11/15/2024


Going through a drought? (dry and thirsty land Psalm 63:1)

Dry springs cannot quench my thirst for righteousness.

Sipping here and there is too small a portion.

Righteousness is scarce.


I need to drink from a well of salvation.

A well of living water.

When I find this water,

I will drink until I am full.


I am like the wildlife in the forest--

seeking the scent of water.

I remember Psalm 42:1

As the deer panteth for the water,

So my heart pants after thee.

The scripture is more clear

When I stand in a dry and thirsty land. (Psalm 63:1)


The silence while I seek for water

opens my senses in a new way.

The moist air grows more dense.

I see the water,

Closing in now,

I extend my hands as a cup,

I drink and drink and drink.


Righteousness fills me up.

  by Clara Mitchell   To be or not to be? Hamlet's question is still and remains very interesting. What if God had asked the same question at the start of creation? Instead of Light be, what if He had asked Light be or not to be? God was teaching us as our creator from the get go. Words can create what we cannot see. Words when spoken create an energy around us. The energy takes shape to form our world. Our faith in God's Word is activated as we decree it. Faith builds on scriptures and it is a substance. In today's language it is a controlled substance. Faith is in God's control and we wait for His Word to activate. God aligns us to His will for His glory. His plan is always higher than our own. Seeking God requires anyone one of us to believe. Without faith, we cannot please God. But with faith many rewards are given by God To those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

At the Beach by Clara Mitchell

  The sand is soft on the soles of my feet.  My thoughts are drifting into sand dunes.  One thought takes me back--  to my summer days at the beach.   Then I hear the scripture, “Time is short”. (I Cor 7:29 KJV)  This scripture is like a Clarion Bell calling all of us--  Single or married to serve.  Day dreamers will miss their turn to serve. Day planners serve while there are still open windows of time to fill.

Winds of Change Continue

Winds of Change Continue         by Clara Mitchell 4/21/2024 Am I losing my touch? I mean, am I out of touch? My mood moves like a child's swing, What is pushing me to go higher? Is it God or is it me, Or is it both? My life is going in many new directions. It is because of the winds of change set over me. The winds will die down soon- As soon as the changes take hold of me. Until that time, I am looking down from a whirlwind. What changes will God arrange That cause such mighty winds to blow? Is there a way to know my next? I am held in suspense by a spiritual whirlwind. The Holy Spirit calls me to deeper faith. I am no longer looking down from this whirlwind. When I grow in faith, I cannot remain the same. Over time, other winds of change Will remove more doubt and unbelief. Faith lifts me higher. Now I can move mountains. The Holy Spirit is my guide into all truth. (John 16:13) He sends the winds of change at the...
