Gods Rest Thought of the Day: Don't look at this season as the longest chapter of your life but look how far you have come in the greatest longing of your heart. ~~Sister Lara
Welcome to today's devotion
Today's Scripture
Psalm 119:40 (KJV)
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
There are days that seem so long and you just want to get them over because you know the next day will be something new from the Lord. Yet, here in Psalm 119 we find David writing the longest chapter in the Bible where David lays his life out there before God: full of drama, full of desire, full of failures, full of need for help and more.
Like David, "Everyone has the longest chapter in their lives" and if your life seems to be the longest struggles, the longest challenges, the longest time of waiting David said, "I have a longing."
Look, if you have a longing for God's Word in the longest season of your life and can't grasp what it takes to cross over--step back and count it joy the longing is there! David longed for what he knew worked because he had been there many times before. David said, "I have longed for thy precepts." Here, the word precepts represents the Law. This is the Law that Moses knew, the Law that Abraham knew--which is the Law of Blood Covenant: to be quickened in righteousness. In the Life of Moses the Law of Blood Covenant represented from the heart and mind as being one with God, His Elohim. In the Life of Abraham the Law of Blood Covenant would be to be one in the circumcision of the flesh to be one with God. In reality David was saying, "With my whole being I long to be One: quickened in Blood Covenant in rest and righteousness." You can be righteous and still not live in rest. You can live in rest and still not have Life in the Law of being One in Covenant. David aimed his life, "With a heart after God" or to be One. May the longest chapter of your life desire the same, too!
Today's Prayer
Father God, You are our Elohim the Father of all Glory and Covenant. It is my desire to be quickened in Life as One so that Your Covenant will avenge; Your Covenant will create my victory in the midst of the longest chapter in my life and my circumstances. I long for Your Law more than anything with my whole being and in Your presence is Your assurance that the victory is mine. I give You praise the Peace and Thanksgiving Offering of Jesus and I am washed in the Fire of the Altar of Your Love and delight towards me today. Amen.
