Therefore, Believe!

Before you quit, or give up, or give in, become aware that God will always show you a way to settle into hearing His Voice.

No void is meant to exist perpetually.

He will always watch to see whether your attention is filled, or even open, to possibility. For all things are possible for those who believe.

Therefore, believe.

The Majesty of The LORD is surrounding you. For the Angel of The LORD encamps around those who fear, and He delivers them.

The LORD Sees the Lay of the Land

For The LORD is great and greatly to be praised.

Is there anything He cannot do?

Has He ever forsaken His own?

He fully wants all who call upon Him to realize just how precious and important they are to Him.

As you have called upon Him, have you felt as if no one really hears your voice?

Have you really given Him your believing heart?

How have you been talking to The LORD?

There is far more to the presence of The LORD than just talking at Him, not really acknowledging Him as LORD.

He is the God of all flesh, there is nothing too hard for Him.

He is The LORD Who Sees and the God Who Knows.

He has given you the breath of Life.

He has given you all things pertaining to life and godliness.

He has given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning.

He has given to you the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

He has made you a tree of righteousness, the planting of The LORD.

This is so you can glorify Him.

Can you glorify The LORD without really knowing Him as Lord?

There is a song that says:

“I want to know You Lord,
much more than I do,
I want to know You Lord,
much more than I do.

Learn to seek Your Face,
and the knowledge of Your grace;
I want to know You.

I want to serve you Lord;
much more than I do;
I want to serve you Lord,
much more than I do;

Learn to seek Your Face,
and the knowledge of Your grace;
I want to serve You.”

How can you serve Him if your own heart is not toward Him?

How can you say you really know Him if you won’t listen for the Voice of The LORD?

How can you listen for Voice of The LORD if you are not willing to do what it takes seek Him?

The Word of The LORD says this to you: “The Eyes of The LORD are roaming to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking those whose hearts are steadfast toward Him, to show Himself strong in their behalf.

I will be found by you when you seek Me and search for Me with your whole heart.”

This can be illustrated using the surveyor’s instrument. It is mounted on a tripod and set up to be perfectly level in relation to the ground.

It has a plumb bob suspended from the bottom of the instrument between the legs of the tripod that is pointing straight down to the center of the Earth.

The surveyor then uses the eyepiece to search and measure the high points and low points of the ground all around to determine the “lay of the land” around him.

As such, the eyes of The LORD are determining “the lay of the land” of the hearts of those who are willing to be steadfast toward The LORD.

Let your heart be determined, this day concerning whom you will serve: “As for me and my house, we will choose to serve The LORD.”…. to glorify Him.
