Psalm 24 (TPT) God claims the world as his. Everything and everyone belongs to him! He’s the one who pushed back oceans to let the dry ground appear, planting firm foundations for the earth. Who, then, ascends into the presence of the Lord? And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place? Those who are clean – whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure. They will receive the Lord’s blessing and righteousness given by the Savior-God. They will stand before God, for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob.
So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this Glory- King?” The Lord, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, is invincible in every way!
So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you ageless doors of destiny! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is the Lord of Victory, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory!
Beth (B) – Lord yes. You are the Lord of Victory. I get to choose to believe all is for you and your victory. I believe Lord, help me in my unbelief. More and more I see and more and more you show me, you are always faithful. Only you could hit refresh and have it be so, this way, your way. The enemy is defeated, done. It is done. Together with you on your side, Yes Lord.
God (G) – Be still little one, it is good. So much is vying for you and your attention and you continue to choose well. Just rest in your enough. You are just right. The book continues to write itself – my finger is guiding, writing, noting, recording and it is plenty – just continue to choose to rest in me and with me, knowing your part is fully and well done. I get to show you what is next, and it is so good. It is just right and my perfect timing – you will be in awe – it will be wonder filled and clearly have Me displayed in every nook and cranny – do not measure – do not trouble – things are brewing and happening beyond what you can see – it is really, truly just right – your measure – sitting at the desk – is a disconnect from sitting with me. If it is in your effort, legalism, strive for – “come” I say – sit with me and let us be together.
B – Yes Lord. Keep showing me your way.
G – My way is be still and know
My way is not the world’s way
My way is not slogging
My way is easy, my yoke is light
My way is best of all
My way is your way when you choose “Yes Lord”
B – Yes Lord
G – Beaming
You are my girl – through and through. Just watch and see what we do together, me through you – beyond what you can think or imagine – my ways are bigger, better- above and beyond –
B – Yes Lord
G – So rest in me – let’s see – what?
B – (Into extended praise and thanksgiving on very specific things)
Thank you for the great I AM in our story. Thank you for all you are up to in all of our lives as we choose your way Lord.
Thank you for miracles.
Thank you for the miracles you have for each of us.
You are turning all things right – your way – Thank you for your justice and your order and your grace and your way Lord – I am laid down – all to you Lord. I want what you want. I want to trust you more. See you more – believe you more – expect you more – feel you more – receive you more and spill you more. More Lord – Yes Lord
Psalm 131 (TPT) Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head – such as your complex mysteries and wonders – that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.
It feels like a balm – it really does – this is a love balm – from you – Yes Lord – I trust – help me trust more.
More Jesus in every area Lord. More.
