“Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.’” Matthew 6:9 (ESV)
Life can seem extremely tough, wearing and “hollow” at times. However, it is during these times that we should realize we have a constant refuge and sanctuary to seek shelter in. It is the “hallowed grounds” of seeking His face and bowing to His glory.
Times with the LORD is “hallowed” and purposeful. It brings security in the notion that we are not alone. That we in fact have our Father in Heaven who loves us and provides the necessary provisions in which we need at all times.
Frustration can mount during times of “dry” areas in our lives. Such as feeling as if things are going in circles and our souls are searching for answers. But Christ is the Living Water that will quench that thirst and bring the solutions to the answers we seek in earnest dedication.
When we glide through life and suddenly hit a rough spot that brings us to a “snag” and pulls us to a grinding stop – we need to “listen” for the LORD and trust He will provide the course of action and the direction in which we must go.
We cannot rely on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-8) we must trust Him in all ways and lean not on our own decisions. We must acknowledge Him and He WILL direct our paths. We cannot lean on our own minds; we must seek His and love Him and keep from evil. It is then that He will give us a healthy spirit, and energy and wisdom to sustain and maintain life in which it was meant to be lived. Fully, completely in His realm of love and providence.
Remember that without God in our lives – we are NOT living – we are merely existing. And that with God in our lives – we thrive – we prosper – and we are able to LIVE fully!
Have you sought Him today in all you do? Have you reached out to our LORD in love and devotion? Have you realized that His direction and will is the only way to go? If not, why not? He love you so much – and He is waiting for you – today and always. His love knows no bounds – and His mercy is unmerited.
“Father, LORD – thank You for Your love, words, promises and blood of Your Son, my Savior, it is because of Your mercy I live, and it is because of Your love, I will never die, thank You in Jesus name, Amen.”
