Strength and joy in
his dwelling place.”
1 Chronicles 16:27
(NIV)
“Splendor and majesty
flow out of him,
Strength and joy fill
his place.”
1 Chronicles 16:27
(MSG)
As we read about God and heaven, we find ourselves
awestricken by the way our future home will look. We cannot fathom the beauty
and the brightness God’s home will radiate.
Heaven will exude power; for all who enter. Joy (gladness)
will wash over us shortly after we enter the gates. We will have this joy
because:
*We
will be with Jesus.
* We will be rid
of pain.
* No one there
will be suffering.
* We will not
shed tears.
* We will find
our mansions ready.
As a child of God, I sometimes get frustrated with the
events that transpire in our world. I find myself longing for a better world.
After a while, I eventually conclude that God is in control of all those
circumstances. We should be very thankful that God has all things under his
power.
When we go into God’s presence we pour out our hearts to
Him. We listen for His words of comfort, guidance or love. We come away filled
with awe. He refreshes us with His presence. We praise Him for Who He Is.

ReplyDeleteWith thoughts Hilar
Hilary: I am sorry I have taken so long to get back with you.Thank you for your kind comments.
DeleteGod is in control, this is so true. Sometimes it's easier said than done to lay these things at His feet. :) Thanks for this wonderful reminder.
ReplyDeleteKaren: I have found it takes faith and practice to lay things at His feet. Sometimes, I want to pick them up again. We all are human..
DeleteI also get so frustrated and powerless, then I am reminded that the best tool I have is prayer. This week I was reminded that Jesus taught about prayer because I believe he knew its importance.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by lately, I appreciate it. xxx
Raymonde: I believe we all have times of frustration and feelings of powerlessness. Prayer takes us to the throneroom of God and there we can talk to God about what concerns us. You are welcome.
