PJP2 PROLOG 160531 PROLOG Focus - 1 Kings 4:29-30....
Psalm 47:6 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Sing Praises To God, Sing Praises! Sing Praises To our King, Sing Praises!"....
PJP2 PROLOG POST 160531 - 1 Kings 4:29-30 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)....."And God Gave Solomon Wisdom And Understanding Beyond Measure, And Breadth of Mind Like The Sand on the Seashore, So That Solomon's Wisdom Surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt."....
I don't know how well you know King Solomon's story - In 1 Kings Chapters 1 through 10, Solomon's Walk With YAHWEH is a Positive, Focused on God Experience. Solomon has Focus and Drive to Obey and Follow his father David's God. (As we'll see in upcoming PJP2 PROLOGs from 1 Kings Chapter 11 on....Solomon's downward spiral caused by his disobedience and distractions is not a pretty demise.....)
BUT at this point in time (1 Kings 4:29-30) King Solomon is ROCKING!
That's The Point I am Hearing The Holy Spirit Make this morning - When our Focus remains Locked Onto God The Father, His Son, our Lord Jesus, and His Son's Holy Spirit Within us (Which By The Way, He, The Holy Spirit, when we Open Up to Him, He Will Facilitate our Keeping our Focus Locked On.....), This Supports our Lord's Working Within, Around and Through us.
The reverse is True as well - as we will see.
However, The Encouragement we Are Being Given Today (and every day when we Surrender to Him) is.....Patiently (Pray, Listen, Obey, Wait) and Walk (PLOW) with our Lord AND He Will Take Care of the rest, well beyond our wildest dreams.
Thus our Prayer for today is a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise from His Holy Spirit's Inspired Writing by Paul, found in Ephesians 3:14-21 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Raise Your Name in Worship and Praise. Lord Jesus, For the Reason of Your Mercy and Grace upon us, we bow to our knees Before You. O Father God, From Whom every family in heaven and on earth Is Named, That According To The Riches of Your Glory, Please, we Pray, Grant us To Be Strengthened With Power Through Your Son's Holy Spirit Within our Inner Being. Holy Spirit, Come, So That our Lord Jesus Christ May Dwell In our Hearts Through Your Gift of FAITH In us. Lord Jesus, Help us and Teach us That we May Be Rooted And Grounded In Your LOVE. Holy Spirit, Give us Your Strength To Comprehend With All Your saints What IS The Breadth And Length And Height And Depth of Your Presence in us. Father God, Open our Inner Eyes to See and to Know The LOVE of our Lord Jesus Christ That Surpasses all Knowledge. Lord Jesus, Open our Inner Minds That Helps us to Know That Through You, we May Be Filled With All The Fullness of God The Father. Now, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, To You, Who's Able To Do FAR More Abundantly Than ALL That we ASK or THINKG, According To Your Power At Work Within us....To You Be ALL The Glory. We Praise You and Worship You In Your Holy Church. Lord Jesus, In Your Holy Name, Throughout All generations, Forever And Ever we Pray.....Amen/Amen....jaj
