As we draw near the end of our 21 Day Above All Else feast this is a good time to evaluate. Living intentionally to worship Jesus means a daily evaluation, regrouping.
Have we soaked in His presence to the point of saturation?
Have we worshipped Him from every angle, seeking out all that God, the great I Am, is?
Have I decreased for Him to increase in my heart, mind, and soul? (John 3:30)
Today’s Above All Else Scripture needs to be coupled with the ever familiar passage from Jeremiah. I am certian you know this one by heart but I’m wondering if you know the rest of the verse. You know…the verse that says “for I have plans to prosper you…”
But it doesn’t stop there!
Oh the beautiful truths abound when we continue to read Jeremiah 29:11-14…
You will seek Me and find me when you seek Me with all of your heart. I will be found by you…
What if those plans we seek after, those dreams we chase, that prosperity we crave were wrapped in the very gift and nearness of the King of the Universe. What if those things we have always wanted in life, those prayers we faithfully lifted up were second in comparison, pale in comparison, to the fact that we have fellowship with the One and Only? What if His nearness were all that we need to feel blessed, with purpose, and prosperous?
Press In
The Eternal stays close to those who call on Him, those who pray sincerely. (Psalm 145:18 THE VOICE)
The Lord is near to all who call on him,to all who call on him in truth. (Psalm 145:18 ESV)
Pour Out
Father God, I worship you today in truth and with a sincere heart and intention. Lord, forgive me for those times when I wanted things more than I wanted You. Help me to de clutter so that I have room for all that You want to reveal to me. Today, I declare that I am seeking after You with everything I am. I declare that I will stand on Truth that You will be found when I seek. I know You are near, Jesus.
Pour Forth
This morning I reviewed our Psalm 145 in it’s entirety. The Spirit whispered to my heart: read it aloud. So I did. At first it was weird to talk out loud as I was the only person in the room. Then it dawned on me, I’m reading with the very King of the Universe in my presence. I started speaking the Word straight to Him just as I would speak to any one I love sitting right in front of me. I told Him how good He is and how awesome His works are. I know God loves to hear our praise…out loud!
Will you speak aloud straight to the Lord today? Go for it!
