God morning Sistren and Brethren! Praying you are getting a new touch of His New Mercies...with rejoicing this Morning! I do love the Word of God...reading and feeling the hearts of the authors as they who practicing being in the presence of God...I feel and hear as much as read processing the words through my brain... those words enter my mental-ness...while the Message enter my heart to the soul of who I am. I am reminded to continually share or to share as often as I can to others to Run... don't walk... to the Word...to find the answers to our questions, and to recieve revelation of God's heart in Jesus Christ. Because we want to know ...more...be...closer. In this journey along the "Way", we not only find His Will but find Him! As did the two that journeyed to Emmaus... in Luke 24 we read about that resurrection Sunday...
"That same day two of them were walking to the village Emmaus, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was."
On the journey, on that Way...those two were walking and talking with Jesus but blind and semi deaf ;)...to Him...wrapped up in the events of the previous 3 days and busy wrapping their heads....around the whirlwind of events...as we do in our day to day...we go through our myriad of events sometimes a tornado of events! BUt I am reminded (when those whirlwinds happen) of the revelation to Elijah in 1 Kings 19...
"Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Reminded...Remember! He says to me..."What are you doing here?" I am thinking that, like Elijah, I am so overwhelmed and crying out loudly for the Lord for His presence to be strong in me...but so strongly troubled that even a tornado, earthquake, and fire... all super dynamic physical things on this earth...pale to the storm in my mind, heart, and spirit where God's voice fades...gets drowned out...lost in the cacophony. But God! In His still small voice finally breaks through...and I am reminded...That Our Father placed me there...right here...As he directed the Hebrew Children as they escaped from Egypt...in Exodus 14...
"Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ "
Right there! He said to them...in that hard place ...mountains around them the Red Sea in front ...trapped!... with Pharaoh's every chariot and army rushing to destroy them...They...(like me and you) crying out! As we continue to read we see the words Moses spoke to the Children :
"And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today."
Hmmmm ...Stand still...BUt Lord can't you see what's happening?!!? Like the disciples in the Boat in the storm on Lake Galilee. their cries of " Don't you care...!?!"( read Mark 4 )
Like the angels who reminded the women at the tomb...and once risen, Jesus gave them the Holy Spirit in a new way...His way so that we could be...reminded. The Holy Spirit's main "job" I think is to actively re-mind us... So remember! Stand....still...small...voice...taste...See! Re-set, Re-mind, and hear His voice echoing timelessly..." What are you doing here?"
Have a Groovy God day...and
Rock and Roll! Jesus is the Rock!....and we Roll!
