3-27-25   THOUGHTS

What a thought...  "great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."  God is among us and we can abide in His presence!  Are we “joyously drawing water From the springs of salvation?”  God has provided all things for us.  It is ours to reach out and receive the blessings given!  It is an “ALL IN” process!   Most simply... Jas 4:8 “ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”  Deut 4:29  "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find [Him] if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.”  

Isa 12:2-6      "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."  3  Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.  4  And in that day you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."  5  Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.  6  Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

My Prayer:
O  Father, help us to love you with our all.  Teach us to fold our hearts and minds and bodies into Your abiding presence.  Help us to joyously draw water from the springs of salvation.  Give us a clear picture of what this truly means, that we will stretch for it with great zeal. True us up, O God, and remove all that hinders and dilutes our lives toward  mediocrity.  May we make You known among the people, that Your name is exalted.  In Jesus’ name,    Amen..
