His Presence....wisdom....
I have been awake for a long time this am...going over lives, boundaries, ideas, making right decisions, plans...etc, etc, etc...when all I really want is that peace of God's presence, His advice, His counsel....His words of wisdom and not my own...my own is so minuscule in the vastness of His...plus, He asks us to ask for wisdom...
Then I finally turned on the lights to read and there was the right devotional, the right words, the right comfort....now just to put it into practice...the very hard and very easy part...letting it flow into my soul, take up residence...trust....obedience....peace...
I was reading that God wants us as His treasure....if that is so, shouldn't we want Him as ours...that Presence, sought after as a treasure beyond price, without end....that wisdom entering our hearts to teach, admonish, counsel...
Father, thank you that You treasure us, You delight in us, help me to seek, embrace Your Presence in my life in all that I do with Your wisdom ....given generously...
Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
Jesus calling-May 28
Let Me anoint you with My Presence. I am King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. When you draw near to Me, I respond by coming closer to you. As My Presence envelops you, you may feel overwhelmed by My Power and Glory. This is a form of worship: sensing your smallness in comparison to My Greatness.
Man has tended to make himself the measure of all things. But man’s measure is too tiny to comprehend My majestic vastness. That is why most people do not see Me at all, even though they live and move and have their being in Me.
Enjoy the radiant beauty of My Presence. Declare My glorious Being to the world!
… which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
—1 Timothy 6:15–16
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
—James 4:8
“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”
—Acts 17:28
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.
—Psalm 145:3–6
