Let Us Not Fear

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 Exodus 23:27  I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

We Will Not Bow to the gods of Men

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 Exodus 23:24-25 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.

His Love is so Big

His Love is so Big

Psalm 27:4…One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life

To behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple

Today, as I was sitting here working, I felt HIM so sweetly come into the room.  I love the way that Abba, at times, comes into the room so unexpectedly.  His love is so tangible as it drips like oil filling every space. His love is so BIG that it feels like your heart may burst.  This mortal flesh cannot contain all that HE IS. At that moment, I stopped just to spend time with Him.  I wanted Him to know that He was more important than anything or anyone else.  When you enter the presence of God, there is nothing else like it. David knew that the ultimate place of peace and rest for his soul was in the presence of God. He had tasted the goodness of the Lord and he wanted nothing else.

Better is (JUST) one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.  (Psalm 84:10)

Nothing compares to His overwhelming love.  Just as Mary, I want to be found sitting at His feet, beholding His beauty, and being lost in His loving gaze.

Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. When summarized, these two verses are about integrity, specifically, […]
