The Weekly Word: Revelation In Relationship
The weekly verse
“So the one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is now saying to all the churches.”
Revelation 3:6 (TPT)
the weekly question
Do You Recognize Your responsibility?
“Look at the splendor of your skies, your creative genius glowing in the heavens. When I gaze at your moon and your stars, mounted like jewels in their settings, I know you are the fascinating artist who fashioned it all! But I have to ask this question:
Why would you bother with puny, mortal man or care about human beings? Yet what honor you have given to men, created only a little lower than Elohim, crowned with glory and magnificence. You have delegated to them rulership over all you have made, with everything under their authority, placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers.”
Psalms 8:3-6 (TPT)
When we contemplate the depth of glory that God has woven all throughout creation, it’s stunning to the human soul. The enormity of His tapestry can be overwhelming, the endless beauty breathtaking, and yet His children will enjoy new revelations of His creation for all eternity. It's no wonder, then, we find the question posed in Psalms 8.
“Who are mere mortals that you would think so highly of them, Lord?”
While this passage of Scripture doesn’t answer this question in its entirety, it does peel back the curtain concerning our purpose. Simply stated, we are “made in the image of Almighty God”. We are His chosen vessel for displaying the greatest revelation of His Love, Glory, & Greatness. Nobody & nothing in all creation has received such an extravagant responsibility, and yet, few recognize the relevancy of their role in God’s Master Plan. Thankfully—
Jesus Made The Expectations Of His Kingdom Crystal-Clear.
God’s people are expected to accrue interest based on their God-given investments & assignments. God’s people are expected to ready themselves for the Master’s return by growing in faith & supplementing their faith with excellent, inspired-moral character. And above all, we’re to become a people who are distinguished by an ever-growing depth & display of Godly-Love. We’re to love the Lord our God with every fiber of our being & to love one another in the same manner that Christ Jesus loves us.
You don’t have to stagger & stumble among the stampede of the broad path of destruction offered by this broken world. God has a phenomenal purpose for your life. He has a future that is bigger & brighter than anything you can currently imagine. Recognize the opportunity that He’s laid before you. Recognize the responsibility you have as an Image-Bearer of The One God of Glory.
Walk In The Spirit Of Jesus & Live An Inspired Story.
the weekly Consideration
The longing of the Lord’s heart
If you want to know the tangible favor of God, seek Him in faith. Even the most humble in faith have the capacity to move mountains, so don’t believe the enemy’s lies regarding your lack of faith. Just seek His face in humility, turn away from the sin that‘s eroding your intimacy, and let your faith rest in the Hands of The One who can help you overcome your unbelief.
Though our God is infinitely complex & beyond human-comprehension, understand that His heart for you is simply rooted in passionate, unfailing love. The longing of the Lord’s heart is to reveal Himself to those who are looking for Him. He’s not looking for performers; He’s looking for the pure-in-heart.
God’s Looking To Join With Those Who Are Joined To Jesus.
“Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There is no God.” Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous, devoid of what is good. Yahweh looks down in love, looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters.
He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him.”
Psalms 14:1-2 (TPT)
“Don’t you know that God, the true judge, will grant justice to all his chosen ones who cry out to him night and day? He will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for. God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting…
Even so, when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of undying faith on earth?”
Jesus (Luke 18:7-8, TPT)
the weekly challenge
today’s the day
A watching-world is sick & tired of hearing about how The King of Heaven reigns on His throne. It’s time for those who are “seated with Jesus in heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:6) to not just talk the talk, but to walk the walk.
It’s time to live Holy lives, which exhibit daily demonstrations of His Ruling-Presence in our own hearts. It’s time for the remnant of God to rise up & demonstrate character that’s infused with the power of God’s unrelenting-righteousness & unfathomable-Love. As Jesus said, today’s the day to reveal God’s Will. Today’s the day to—
