God Beckons Us To Come!

As we rise to meet the dawning of a new day, the most important thing we will do is to meet with the Lord and to align ourselves with Him, His truths and His will! We can only live this day once and it could be our last; we can waste it being caught up in ourselves or we can walk with Him in it and for His pleasure! This one thing is the most important thing we can choose to do! It won't bring regret, but a new confidence and peace.

God's heart cry to His people in the Old Testament as written Deuteronomy 6:4-5 beckons His people to Him:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."

Jesus repeated this in Mark 12:30 in the New Testament and called it the "greatest commandment." Do you love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul and strength?

Everything in our Christian life rides on this relationship! This rises above all else! The quality of our relationship with Him opens the way to understanding and knowing His truths, His will and experiencing Him working in us and through us! This one act, this one focus will help us in bringing all else under His Lordship! It's a choice we will make daily, whether we want to or not! Whether consciously or unconsciously, we will choose, each day, whether we will put Him in first place!

John 15:5 says, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

Without God working in us we can't do anything to bear fruit for His Kingdom. He is the impact in our lives that impact will be seen by others.

Psalm 5:3 says,
"In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait with expectation."

Psalm 33:20 says,
"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield."

Lamentations 3:22-25 says,
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore, I will wait for Him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him."

May God bless your day as You seek to put Him first, to meet with Him "in the cool of the day" and then walk with Him, continuing that fellowship and talking to Him through out the day. What great joy it brings Him when we put Him first, seeking to bring all else under His Lordship, making Him our one Stronghold.

"The Lord is the Stronghold of my life ~ of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1b

"The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah." Psalm 46:7

He is Hiding Place, our place of Deliverance!


"You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah." Psalm 32:7

Whatever, your day holds, He is enough! He is Your song of deliverance! You can sing in the shadow of His wings!
