Psalms & Proverbs - Day 12
Psalm 2:6
Yet I have set my King upon My Holy Hill of Zion.
Today's Psalm passage is interesting to me - Jesus is known as the King of the Jews but also the King of kings - God the Father has set His King upon the Holy Hill of Zion - to me I believe this points to Jesus the Christ - He was killed on a hill for us - He laid His life down on the hill of Calvary - He came willingly and left in the just the same - the Word says like a Lamb going to the slaughter - Jesus could have fought His captives and won - no one could hold Him back - He had to be willing - God placed all authority on Jesus - He was proud of His Son!
Jesus died on a hill but rose again - and then later accended to heaven on a hill - Jesus always went on the mountain to pray - you could call it a hill - some say that hills bring us closer to God the Father - but I believe the point was Jesus got away from everything and everyone to a solitary place - we need to do the same thing - how long has it been since you got away from it all and just listened to the still voice of God?
For me its been far too long! Look for ways this day to separate from everyone and everything - come apart and sit at the feet of Jesus!
Proverbs 1:13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall all fill our houses with spoil....
Ah - here we go - this excites the world- wealth - money - power - this is what the world around us craves - fame is also another thing that appeals to our flesh - the world is all about its own glory - its all about self - this is opposite of the example Jesus has left us - He didn't put His trust in man - why? Because HE knew what was in the heart of man - and things my friends have not changed in 2000 or more years -greed is the name of the game - in the cooperate world its step on as many people as you can on the way up and don't worry about that sudden fall - the world says to have it your way - its all about you - the ads you see daily say its all about you - so it must be true? This is not the truth - God's way is always best - this is not our home and I am seeing just how worthless the things of this ol world are compared to the glory that is to follow! Lets keep our eyes focused on Heaven but realize we live in a real world -with real issues that matter - lets fight the good fight of faith - know Jesus is with us! Amen!
footnote: Jesus is set apart - Holy -
we are His people and must follow HIS lead..
CHRIST brought victory out of what seemed defeat!
Praises, Prayers & Previews:
Pray for Michael - unspoken request for today -details to follow...

THE POOR: THEIR NEEDS & OUR CALLING
a month of devotionals dedicated to our response
to the needs of those around us in Jesus' Name
It's time once again for the traveling church signs-
