Majesty

How many times have you closed your eyes to open your minds eye and want to see the King? I wait for that everyday. Most of the time it is a bit of an effort to imagine what the King of Kings will look like and how exciting that day will be. Well last sunday by no effort of my own I got to see a glimpse of Him during worship. We were singing "Majesty" by delirious and all of a sudden with my eyes closed in worship there He was, in all His splendor. He walked in the back of the sanctuary and he had this amazingly white Robe that had Gold and royal purple as its accents, He wore a big Beautiful crown. It was amazing to me to see him there in our midst. I felt His presence so much more as I watched so excitedly to see what would happen. He was just basking in the praises of His people. I couldn't see His face for in His word It says that no one can look upon His face and live but just to see honestly His Majesty right before me was overwhelming enough. I began to sing more and let the tears flow, I watched as He walked toward the front of our sanctuary and then just stand there with His hands raised. It was an amazing sight. I know that sometimes we can only get the opportunity to see things in the spiritual only because the physical can't handle it but one day soon I can't wait to see Him truely face to face. I cry as I think about what that represents for us. He really does show up as we worship Him in Spirit and in truth. I know that God is pleased with that. I just feel so blessed to be able to have seen that and live. Thank you Jesus for loving me and showing up. You are beautiful beyond description. The words of an old classic come back to me. "You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words, to wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever seen or heard, Who can grasp your infinite wisdom? Who can fathom the depths of your love? You are beautiful beyond description Majesty enthroned above, and I stand I stand in Awe of you, Yes I stand I stand in Awe of you, Only God to who all praise is due I stand in Awe of You!" Meditate on those words and let them sink into your soul.

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Image
Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be,

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.
