Label-God's Rest Daily Devotional
Psalm 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
We have all thought, "Well, nobody is looking I will go ahead and do this just one time." Yet, at the same time, those who practice God's Rest & Righteousness think differently than those who say, "Nobody is looking." This does not mean that those who walk in God's Rest & Righteousness are greater than those who do not, it simply means they realize they are not of this world and the actions of others do not define who they are and what they do around them.
In today's Scripture, we read that those who love righteousness, hate wickedness. Here, the word wickedness means, "Condemnation because of choosing what is morally wrong." Condemnation is the worst feeling anyone could have because when you feel condemned you know in your heart you are wrong. Condemnation makes you feel like a piece of gum under your shoe, whereas God's Rest gives you great joy. At the same time, the word wickedness represents the idea of making a person agitated to cause a commotion of disturbance. You know the kind, "Things around you easily get under your skin."
So, when God's disciples choose as an act of their will to acknowledge in their hearts: spirit, soul, and body, that they are One in the fullness of the God Head it is there that the elements of Blood Covenant wash over a person's heart above everyone else who loves wickedness. You don't have to allow what is going on around you to mold you into the actions of others. You don't have to allow what is going on around you to shape you into what is being deceitfully created. You don't have to allow what is going on around you to influence the choices you make because "You are above that through the Oil of Joy" to walk above those around you.
You know what, "Walking in joy because God has anointed you with joy is one of the greatest rewards of walking as One in God." No matter what is going on around you, "You can laugh, you can freely make others smile, you can freely look in your own heart and see the Father smiling back at you." Joy is a lost art and joy is freely given like an oil of gladness to those who love Righteousness and Rest, through Blood Covenant.
There will always be those in your life who pass you every day and never say a word. There will always be those in your life who pass you every day to tempt you to gossip or walk in condemnation with their words of indifference. You don't have to play that part to be accepted because God's favor is His Rest and Righteousness and the oil of who He is in Blood Covenant towards you cannot be compared to anything the world can offer.
The Psalmist goes on to say, "All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes and cassia out of the ivory places they have made you glad." You see, the oil has spices and fragrance in it that is upon the head of those who walk in God's Rest & Righteousness of Blood Covenant of the finished works of Jesus on the Cross. You say, "Sister Lara what do you mean?" You see, "Jesus was crushed on the cross and bruised for our iniquity." It is an amazing concept that when a disciple of God's presence of Blood Covenant chooses as an act of their will to do what right, "There is a cost to Joy in the heart of doing what is right when you think no one is looking." The cost is that "When you choose to do right you are partakers of the Joy of the Lord as an Overcomer of what He went through for those who faithfully yield to Blood Covenant of Rest & Righteousness." Listen that oil that you are wearing of the Lord's joy is from His Victory. Let us meditate on how wonderful that is. Let us meditate upon how great His Victory is: despised and could not be looked upon, beaten to the pulp and could and flagged publically--yet, He never gave up! No, He never gave up but chose Righteousness and Rest even in those moments because He hated wickedness and condemnation. That is good news!
Father, today in Jesus name I choose as an act of my will to love Rest & Righteousness over wickedness. Thank You for Your oil of Joy that causes me to walk around in being free from condemnation and the weight of sadness and grief of defeat. I was born to laugh. I was born to be free in Joy. I thank You and praise You in Jesus name. Amen. Living Life Beyond the Veil is Living Life Inside the Veil of the God-Head Trinity through the Covenant Body of Jesus by Way of His Sacrifices of Righteousness.
Freely we receive and freely we give. Not for commercial use.
