He offered all of Himself, as our sacrifice.
He offered all of Himself, in obedience.
He surrendered all of Himself, in submission.
He makes that same offer, to us.
To offer all of our self, in obedience.
To surrender all of our self, in submission.
All, to Him. All, in. To live our life in such a progression, that with rejoicing and delight, we finally say;
"It would be my joy, Lord."
Fully submitted, ever and continually filled by His Spirit. Fully surrendered where what once appeared and seemed perfectly okay, no longer holds any precedence over our life- For the further into Him we go, the less of this world satisfies.
For each of us, the sojourn will be unique to the way we were uniquely created to fulfill the very destiny; He has set before time for us to fulfill.
As we seek Him, and seek Him with all our hearts, we will find Him. We will know Him. Not just know about Him, but Know Him.
And that sojourn will be the one that finally leads us, home. Home with Him, here. In this promised land of our life. For in this life there is a promised land awaiting for us, uniquely for us, to possess. There will be giants in the land, but we can with our surrendered heart, overcome. With our submitted heart... see His goodness in the land of the living. For He has equipped us for only those battles He has already prepared in advance, for us to win. Not the ones we were never meant to fight. Not, the ones that come lived outside of sweet submission to His life in ours.
How do we ascend to such a promised land? Listen as David, from the Psalms, unfolds this to us...
The King of Glory and His Kingdom
A Psalm of David.
Psalm 24: 2-6
The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
The world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face.
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face.
~Selah
