Psalm 27:3-5 "Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock."
I was in worship last night at a church across the way from the church I go to. Heard about them, through friends who said with worship music was excellent and anointed. I will go wherever the anointing is, until I get full enough to overflow to those around me. I was dancing in the Presence of the Lord full of joy for what He has done in my life. His mercy and grace upon me. Another time I laid down face up and let Holy Spirit wash over me. But there was one time when I felt like just sitting there 'Indian-style' (well, I am part Cherokee). I was just gazing at the beauty of the Lord. The magnificence of our God. Like a child full of wonder at who I was looking at and the Light and Life in His eyes mesmerized me. I just sat there with my natural eyes closed and my spiritual eyes open.
I believe this is what the Psalmist experienced on some level also. This isn't just for us when we finally 'make it' to heaven. This experience with Jesus is for now also. He wants us to see His beauty, His glory, the brilliance of His Light, and the perfect love in His eyes. ALL of this He wraps around us while we are in His Presence.
The following verse is a fantabulous verse. It's a word in my dictionary - fantastic and fabulous together - or it could be 'fabulastic', or my favorite fantabulastic. Ok, so I digress...
Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." This verse, well, this whole blog today is - well, let's just say the Lord's Presence is all over me. I feel Him in my mind, my heart, all around me. You want to know the most wonderful thing about this is? Sure, you do, right?
THIS IS FOR YOU ALSO - NO EXCEPTIONS! There is another wonderful thing about this... He's not very far from you... all you have to do is ask Him to reveal even the smallest part of himself and He will - maybe not in this way, but there are many ways He can reveal Himself.
If the little bit of Him we see now 'lays us out' and boggles our minds - how much more when we see all of Him at the marriage supper of the Lamb of God?
Beautiful Lord - Leeland
