LET US REJOICE BEFORE OUR AWESOME ABBA FATHER. As seekers of a joyful God we should wear the garments of delight, for IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULNESS OF JOY.
“…may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; MAY THEY BE HAPPY AND JOYFUL. Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; REJOICE BEFORE HIM–his name is the LORD. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” (Psa. 68:3-5)
I have this memory as a child of about 8 years old; my mom and I took a flight to California. I don’t remember any of the details, but what I do remember is this; I lived in the Seattle area, it had been several days of depressing cloudy overcast skies. Having never flown I did not know what to expect, so imagine my delight as we flew through the clouds; WOW, what beautiful sunlight! THE SUN HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE, just not visible through the clouds!
“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, WHO DAILY BEARS OUR BURDENS. Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.” (Psa. 68:19-20)
Our awesome Abba Father IS ALWAYS, HERE with us!
“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and WE WILL COME TO THEM and MAKE OUR HOME WITH THEM.” (John 14:23)
JESUS AND OUR ABBA FATHER HAVE COME TO US AND MADE THEIR HOME WITH US!
