MILK/MEAT: Messiah Is LORD & KING / Messiah (is God's) Eternal, Abiding TRUTH
Psalm 107:9 (ESV)...."For HE Satisfies The LONGING Soul, And The HUNGRY Soul HE Fills With GOOD Things."....
Today's Devotion from Jonathan Cahn's Devotional, "The Book of Mysteries", was entitled, "Heaven's Milk". It is an excellent reading, and Jonathan focused on our internal LONGINGs that begins from the moment of our first breath upon birth, that is our LONGING for MILK. As we grow older, that initial LONGING becomes less of a focus.....BUT we Discover Even a Deeper LONGING....A LONGING for The Eternal, The Perfect.....
SO.....The Holy Spirit Got me to Thinking on MILK and MEAT.....MILK being that First Natal LONGING for nourishment/sustainment/even nurturing us to new growth. Then MEAT, as we age, still for the same basic NEED....nourishment/sustainment/nurturing new growth....
BUT....if we 'morph' this external NEED to our Internal/Spiritual NEED, that NEED for The PERFECT LOVE, HAPPINESS, CONTENTMENT, PEACE.....again The ETERNAL.....We see that This Inner NEED is Indeed A GIFT From God.....
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)...."HE Has Made Everything Beautiful in its time. Also, HE Has Put ETERNITY Into man's Heart, Yet So That he Cannot Find Out What God Has Done From The Beginning To The End."....
Though we are finite and God The Father is INFINITE......He Still, Because of His LOVE for us, Provides us With His PERFECT PEACE when we are One With HIM....
Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)...."YOU Keep him In PERFECT PEACE whose Mind Is STAYED On YOU, Because he TRUSTS In YOU."....
His Holy Spirit Inspired Paul to Record this most excellent compilation in regards to our Inner LONGING for God's Eternity In our Lives, especially in the context of our Daily Circumstances....
Romans 8:18-25 (ESV)...."For I Consider That the sufferings of this present time Are NOT Worth Comparing With The GLORY That IS To Be Revealed to us. For The Creation Waits With Eager LONGING For The Revealing of the sons of God. For The Creation Was Subjected to futility, Not willingly, BUT Because Of HIM WHO Subjected it, IN HOPE That The Creation Itself Will Be Set FREE From Its bondage to corruption And Obtain The Freedom Of The Glory of the children of God. For we Know That The Whole Creation Has Been Groaning Together in the pains of childbirth Until Now. And NOT Only The Creation, BUT we ourselves, who Have The First-Fruits Of The Spirit, Groan INWARDLY As we WAIT Eagerly For Adoption as sons, The REDEMPTION of our bodies. FOR IN THIS HOPE we Were SAVED. Now HOPE That Is SEEN Is NOT hope. For who hopes for what he sees? BUT IF we HOPE For What we Do NOT See, we WAIT For IT With Patience."....
Team, Praise God, He Provides us with His Heavenly MILK and MEAT for our Inner Nourishment/Sustainment/Nurturing New Growth In HIM.....So, Crew, regardless of our circumstance, or the challenges we be facing.....HEAR His Promise to us.....
Psalm 55:22 (ESV)...."Cast your Burden ON The Lord, AND HE Will SUSTAIN you; HE Will NEVER Permit The Righteous to be moved."....
Thus permit me to Offer Up a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise from His Holy Spirit's Inspired WORD as Recorded in Psalm 38:9-10, 15, 18, 22....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Thank You and Praise You for Your LOVE, MERCY and GRACE towards us. Lord Jesus, we Come to You and Present to You ALL of our Inner-Longing. We Set our Longing Before You, O Holy Spirit. Father God, our Sighing, as we face our Daily Challenges, are Not Hidden From You. O Lord Jesus, our Heart throbs; our Strength fails us, And it even seems The LIGHT of our eyes has gone from us. O, BUT, Father God, For You, O Lord, For You and You Alone DO we WAIT! O Holy Spirit, we Praise You, For It Is You, O Lord our God, Who Will Answer our Cries. Lord Jesus, we Do Humbly Bow Before You and Confess our iniquity. Holy Spirit, we Are Sorry for our sin and selfishness, that causes us to stumble. Forgive us Lord. Make Haste, we Pray, Father God, To Help us, O Lord of our Salvation! Lord Jesus, In Your Holy Name we Lift Up our Prayers....AMEN and AMEN....jaj
REMEMBER: Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)...."YOU Keep him In PERFECT PEACE whose Mind Is STAYED On YOU, Because he TRUSTS In YOU."....
