Checking into God's Presence... “Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Thy tackling’s are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. And the inhabitant shall not say I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity”. Ezekiel 33:20-24 What is your story? Please learn from the above and seek the Lord in spite of those painful circumstances. Hannah did, she had a turn around. Joseph too had his share of the tribulations of this world whilst in Egypt; his testimonies confused his brethren who sold him into slavery. When he introduced himself; they were astonished in Genesis 45:3-4 which states- “Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.” What about you? Are you renouncing God because of some teething problems? Remember, it is not over until it is finally over. Choose God today and make Him your friend. He is more faithful than the physical friends of this world. Look upon our souls today oh Lord and let Your eyes have compassion on us. We beseech You to redeem us from any distress capable of disturbing the faith we have in Your Holy name. Magnify our thoughts with your Holy Spirit so our steps can be designed to always seek after the righteousness in Your name. Let those who are called by Your name declare: I am not sick and the people that seek after you says they have been forgiven of their iniquity in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
