#35 Look through the clear lens of the Word of God and listen to the 66 books. Face yourself honestly —- it will do you more good than anything else.
Larry Crabb has studied psychology for like half a century. So when he says I've concluded this about life, I kind of really want to listen to someone who has seen a whole lot more than most. "I’ve concluded one thing: If you face yourself honestly, if you look through a clear lens at your life in this world, hearing God speak to you in the sixty-six love letters that make up the Bible, it will do you more good than anything else." Face myself honestly. Look through that clear lens of The Word. And Listen!
"And the Lord spoke to Moses ... "
Moses went into the midst of the cloud for a very long time.
Moses experiences utterances too deep for words.
Moses descends and speaks only the things which God told him to specifically say to the children of Israel.
Never before.
No house had ever existed for God.
This tabernacle, erected by Moses, will be a token of the Presence of God.
Right there smack dab next to their tents in the middle of a wilderness.
No more will they need to ask if God is with them? He will be right there.
And the tabernacle will move with the tents.
This sacred place made with human hands are simply a "figure of the true." Heb 9:24
And one-day, today, there will be "a gospel-church pitched" by the Lord not by man.
And Christ will enter the Most Holy Place by His Own Blood,
obtaining Eternal Redemption for you and for me. Heb. 9:12.
No more will we need to ask if God is with us. He is right here.
Scripture interprets Scripture.

Nothing in our lives is too big or too small for God. He is involved in every detail of our lives if we invite Him in.
ReplyDeleteVerse 25:8 "Let them construct a Sanctuary for me that I can live among them."
from "A Diary of Private Prayer"
ReplyDeleteO God, forbid that I should look today upon the work of Thy hands
and give no thought to Thee the Maker.
Let the heavens declare Thy glory to me and the hills Thy majesty.
Let every fleeting loveliness I see speak to me of a loveliness that does not fade.
Let the beauty of earth be to me a sacrament of the beauty of holiness made manifest in Jesus Christ my Lord"
Praying for a clear lens to honestly see...
