Shalom,

I have this picture as my profile picture on facebook:



Psalm 93 declares this!
The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is robed, He has girded Himself with strength and power; the world also is established, that it cannot be moved. Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up the roaring of their waves. The Lord on high is mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters, yes, than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea. Your testimonies are very sure; holiness [apparent in separation from sin, with simple trust and hearty obedience] is becoming to Your house, O Lord, forever.

Not only is our God all powerful, all knowing and everywhere present, He is also VERY meticulous! All it really takes is reading one time through Numbers and you will notice how very specific He is! We read Numbers 29-30 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. Not only does He give instructions as to WHAT the people were to bring for and offering and the number of each thing offered, He also told them what specific days to bring it! Look at verses 1, 7, 12, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, and 35! If God is this specific about offerings and days, He is also MOST specific about the Appearing of Jesus for the Church and about the Second Coming! WE may not know the day or the hour, but HE does! We are, however, to recognize the times and the seasons, and we are most definitely IN those times and seasons right now! This IS, without doubt, THE most exciting time to be alive and active as the Church of Jesus Christ! If you have been holding back and holding out on Him, STOP IT! Jump in with all that you have and be all that HE intends for you to be - RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW! The Glory of God is just waiting to happen in your midst to reveal Himself  the the lost! HE wants that NONE should perish, but that all would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus. Amen! Here is another new song from the Hillsong United album Zion called "A Million Suns":



Shalom in Him!
