INTRODUCTION
I believe that God interacts with His people on a daily basis. He desires to do that. Sure, we should see Him when we open our eyes, or dress ourselves, when we arrive at our destinations safely, and greet our family & friends. Yes, these are miracles we take for granted and we SHOULD give thanks to God for them. However, if at the end of the day, we cannot pinpoint a certain moment where there was a Yeshua-experience just for us, we have missed Him. I am going to start a series in which I detail those Yeshua Moments in my life and I hope you do the same. Let’s practice His presence. Let’s consciously choose to see Him in everything, everywhere! Here’s the point–”The more we focus on what He IS doing, the more of that He will do in our lives. If we focus on what He is NOT doing, He will NOT do anything–and it is not that He is Not doing anything, but that is all that you will see.” So let’s practice the presence of our God for the next 30 days and record them so that our spirits can be alive in Him. Let’s help to build one another’s faith and awaken our spiritual pores to the living Presence of our Abba. Come on! Let’s walk with the Father!
Day #27 — “Gazing into the Water”
My family and I and some good friends went to see the Broadway musical THE LION KING. Yes, it was spectacular and very moving — the music, the dance, the set, the costumes, and puppetry! All quite fantastic!
You know that very familiar scene where the young lion Simba refuses to return home because of what his involvement in his father’s death? He had lost all sight of his royal destiny because of the shame and guilt he was feeling. He even admitted that he was nothing like his brave father Mufasa. He is told by Rafiki, the seer, to look into the water where he would see his father. He looked into the water and all he saw was himself. Then in his mind, his father spoke to him.
When we get weary or tired or afraid or lose sight of our royal destiny, wouldn’t it be great to look in the mirror and see our Father — not the sniveling little creatures we have a tendency to become. But to look in the mirror and see strength, an overcoming spirit, beauty, and power!
Yes, Father, give us your eyes! After all, we are supposed to look like you! We are to be “a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah” (Eph. 4:13). Let’s gaze into the water of the Word, and as we see Him — Yeshua — let us see ourselves in Him – Overcoming! Beautiful, Powerful, and Royal! Amen!
