GLAD YOU ASKED!

And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
Mark 11:22‭-‬24

¶We are not perfect. Because we have not yet been perfected, our prayers are not perfect. We see "through the glass dimly." To "pray believing", is to know that God hears our prayers, and fulfills them according to His will. On that future day when we know fully, even as we're fully known, everything we ask will be granted. Until then, the promise is that the heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

THE POWER TO FORGIVE

By
But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord . Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the Lord see and avenge!" 2 Chronicles 24:21‭-‬22 ESV ¶Contrast Joash's response to that of Jesus, who, when He was reviled and crucified, asked God not to hold their sins against them. Which of the two of them had more of a right to seek vengeance? Which of the the two had more power to forgive? We can forgive when we know God is in control.

Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. Psalm 36:10‭-‬11 ESV ¶The goal of the evil one is just to deprive us, not to have for himself the blessing of knowing God, just to take it away from us, just to drive us off the holy ground procured for us at the foot of the cross.

CORAM DEO? YES OR NO.

And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and from the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brothers who remain in all the lands of Israel, as well as to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may be gathered to us. Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.” All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 1 Chronicles 13:2‭-‬4 ESV ¶David gathers the people of Israel together in a great assembly and does something new. He asks their opinion. He asks them to inquire of the Lord for themselves, and decide. They have the opportunity to bring the ark of God close to them in their midst. Are they, unlike in the days of Saul, ready now to have the ark among them? Do they want to walk close to God, or keep Him at a distance? If His presence is right there, will it just become overly familiar to them? Will they begin to ignore Him and the ...
