We are created to long for God. Our souls recognize that we are incomplete. Most of us spend our lives running around trying to satisfy that emptiness within us — through money, relationships, power, material things, adventures, etc. But if we’re honest, we never quite get there. Nothing ever completely satisfies. Even things that might make us feel ecstatically happy at first eventually fade and bore us.

The angels worship God. They love Jesus. How happy they were to announce His birth. They are waiting, just as we are, for His triumphant return. “Glory to God in the highest. And on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.”

The timeline is interesting. Abraham lived approximately 2000 years before Jesus. David live 1000 years before Jesus. And here we are 2000 years later, waiting for the remaining Biblical prophecies to come to pass. They most certainly WILL come to pass some day. And God seems to like to do things every thousand years or so…. Come, Lord Jesus!

It is impossible to understand how wonderful the Lord is until you dip your foot into His glory. You can’t just peek in from the outside and get it. His goodness must be tasted to comprehend. But once you get a taste of it, once you glimpse His amazing love, really feel it, you will want more. The first step is the only one that requires blind faith. Once you’ve begun the journey of seeking Him, little by little He reveals Himself to you. He slowly removes the human blinders. The deeper you journey into Him, the more He will spiritually bless you with joy, wisdom, understanding, peace… you will “not lack any good thing.” (v.10)

And that is what we are determined to do, as long as it takes for God to guide us to His new home for us. Our souls are waiting for the Lord, as David did in Psalm 33. We are waiting for His faithfulness. No matter how long this season may be, we trust in His holy name. And we will “WAIT!”

Did Jesus have to die or not? Did He really rise from the dead? Or is there wiggle room here? A lot of us want to plant our feet in both camps to make everybody happy, to be nice, to be comfortable. But we either believe in Jesus or we don’t. Jesus IS offensive. We are either willing to stand with Him on the offensive side of the fence or we aren’t. I believe it is important that we examine our own hearts and figure out where we stand.

Caring for our children is the greatest responsibility God has given us. History is filled with examples of our gross mishandling of that duty. Even today there is a worldwide epidemic of child abuse, trafficking, murder, and abortion. How often I wish that God would wave His righteous hand and avenge the cries and blood of our children. But He doesn’t often work that way. This is OUR responsibility that He has given to US.

And it is finished! The battle is over! It is finished! There’ll be no more war! It is finished! The end of the conflict! It is finished and Jesus is Lord! He is Lord! He is Lord! He is Lord! Jesus is Lord!

This is what “soulmate” really means. There is no going back from this depth, no returning to the foul decaying treasures of this world. I’ve discovered something so infinitely better — this secret place of His presence. I want nothing more than to drown within this fantastic flood forever.

In the end it was the TRUTH that they killed him for… not the lies or false testimonies. It is the TRUTH that most stings Satan like acid in the face. It is the TRUTH that Satan calls “blasphemy.” He is still screaming “BLASPHEMY!” at Jesus today… from the lips of our news reporters, our music and Hollywood stars, our political leaders… Still they condemn Jesus, spit on Him, beat Him with their fists, slap Him in the face, and mock Him.
