In Your Midst
Brothers and Sisters, I pray you all are doing well and abiding in Him. Life has been extra trying on my end lately, and your prayers are appreciated more than ever, for me and my extended family. Thank you in advance, the Lord knows where to direct your prayers. And I so appreciate all of you who have included me your petitions over the years. Thank you all!
As the world seems to be spinning ever faster in my world, I am grounded in the Blessed Hope that HE IS COMING. He is coming and when that happens most of the things pressing in on us will no longer matter. I cannot wait to be In His Midst, to dine at His table. To kneel in worship at his nail scarred feet and see eternity stretch before us knowing that we will never be seperated from Him... What a moment that will be.
Anyways, please check out this video. This song has been coming to mind often so I thought I would share it with you all we could get a new comment thread going. The lyrics are below.
God Bless you all and Abba Up!

God Bless you all and Abba Up!
I come to sit at your feet
To drink from the fountain of life
How it satisfies
Nowhere else, do I want to be
The warmth of your heart is enough
It’s enough for me
I come to have communion with the King
to sit at the table and dine
with the highest priest
To know, just what’s on your mind
The secret of Heaven I’ll live to search, to find
So hide me deep inside your heart Lord
Cover me with your wings
Bring me into safety
Bring me into fellowship with who you are, Lord
Father, Son and Spirit
This is all I long for
To be in your midst
This my heart’s desire
To know you and be known
To know you and be known by you Jesus
You are in my prayers, Brad, as is your family! Thank you for the new post. Maranatha!
ReplyDelete1 Samuel 20:18
ReplyDeleteConsider the Mind OF A King. Many things vie for His Attention and it is by His Decree, Alone, That It Is Given. To command The King's Attention Without His Given Permission is likely a fatal mistake, ala Esther.
David is a Type of Our Christ, as we know, and also a type of us, esp moreso once Glorified. Jonathan is a type of Our Helper, His Holy Spirit, ofc, as well as the many manifestations of that which we find along our way. The relationship between them is so powerful that Scripture once calls a private meeting between them, conspiring in a field, a MOED.
Here Our Lord In HIs Word Sets Aside Space, In One Verse, To Remind Us How Central We Are In HIs Thoughts. In the context of the "Sun, Moon and Stars", Which The Father Set In Motion, Jonathan reminds David that if their plan takes David from The King's Midst, during the feast, he will be missed.
In like manner, There Is A Banquet Coming, Being Held By The King. Among The Honored Guests Will Be The Beloved New Bride Of His Son And Various Friends OF The Royal Family. Having Accepted Our Lord's Gift Of His Blood For Consummation Of Our Holy Matrimony, And Nothing Else, Each Of Our Names Are On The Guest List, Now. So, picture this.
At A Grand Spectacle of a Great Feast, Unequaled In All Human History And Unlikely To Fit In The Grand Canyon, yet everyone can hear anyone, as they wish, and it is a truly Grand affair, The King Is About To Start The Ceremonies. As He Does So, Looking About There Seems To Be Something Nagging At His Attention. Thus, As He Begins, The King Lifts A Silver Spoon At His Place Setting And Gently Taps The Fine Crystal Goblet, Also Etched In Silver, Before Him. Though Soft, And Still, And Gentle, The Melodiously Elegant 'Ting, Ting, Ting' Echoes Fill The Entire Place And Tens Of Millions Of Guests And Angels Fall Silent. The King Speaks.
"I Believe * Insert Your Name Here * Was To Be Among The Guests, Today. Is There A Problem?"
Sheepishly, From Over At The Dessert Section Of The Fun Table * Insert Your Name Here * a few miles down the way, Replies, "Oh, No! Your Highness, Sir, Right Here! All Along, Loving It All, You ARE Amazing!" Sitting Back More Comfortably The King Smiles, Motions To His Crew,
"Very Well. Director OF The Choir, Please Continue..."
Maranatha!
