MY FRIENDS, TODAY, LET’S TRAVEL TO THE SANCTUARY, WHERE OUR SAVIOR ABIDES!!

One day soon our journey on earth will end, and a new journey will begin throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity as we will forever be in the SANCTUARY OF OUR MASTERS LOVING ARMS.

But my friends, before that great day as God’s Chosen generation, we ALL must look back on where God has brought us from and lay prostrate before the one who did it all for our salvation and let’s close our eyes as we climb as high as our finite mind will take us.

in addition, as far as we can go, as we look down the smaller the world below get’s until it is no longer relevant, only the presence of God which we are now seeking today. Consistent with this, we realize below is a “world where every intent of the thoughts of the heart of man is evil continually.”

So there is nothing we miss or want to return too. And now we reach the Sanctuary and their stands the countenance of who we seek and the only words that seems to come out of our mouth as the tears roll down our cheeks is “Lord, how long shall the wicked exult?

They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage. They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.” Psalm 94:3-7 (ESV)

But Lord I know You are not slow to fulfill [your] promises as some count slowness, but is patient toward [Your children] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (ESV)

Oh Lord we plead, can we please stay here with you, please don’t make me go back, that journey you have placed me own, the mountains are so steep, and the terrain is so rough, their seems to be no resting place.

And then at that moment our Savior smiles and raises His hands and as we see the scars, we move closer to feel for our-self and all we can say is for me Lord just for me. And then “we realize we must go back for “there are many more hills to climb.

For we have taken a moment [to seek the presence of God], to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds [us], to look back on the distance we have come. But we [now realize that we] can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and we dare not linger, for our long [journey] is not yet ended.” (Nelson Mandela)

For we have many more mountains to climb and a few more rough terrains to cross for our Lord and Savior and a mandate that takes each of us to  “Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth,” Acts 1:8 (KJV) to tell the world that “Jesus saves”

“For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (ESV) My friends in the noise, and recklessness, of this world we live in, we must seek Christ presence in the sanctuary of heaven daily and take the time to touch the scares on his hands and feet and run our hands across the stripes on His back and brow and feel the indenture from the spear in His side and say in awe and admonition.

“I bow before Your throne, I bare the deepest part of me to You and You alone. I keep no secrets for there is No thought You have not known. I bring my best and all the rest to You and lay them down with all my heart.

In addition, I want to love You Lord And live my life each day to know You more and all that is in me is Yours completely. I will fear and serve You only with all my heart and trust only you, because You know what’s best for me.

And when I don’t understand, Then I will follow in obedience In every situation and circumstance with all my heart and live my life each day to know You more as I serve You all the days of my life” (JoAnn Rosario)

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
