Psalm 103 "Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul, and all that is within me, Bless His holy name!"
Some days I am so overwhelmed with the peace of Christ that it is difficult to do the daily routine. I suppose this is a good thing because should I experience this abounding presence of the Holy Spirit in such amazing peace, I would not get much accomplished! But, since I presently have it, I am going to soak it up. "Be still and know that I AM God" (Psalm 46) has taken on a new understanding this morning. My inner being knows no ear, it is rejoicing to the point of shouting, Thank YOU, Thank YOU, Thank YOU, my God, my Jesus, my Savior. Is this the sense, the feeling, the exhortation that King David felt when he scribed Psalm 103? Was he experiencing what I am experiencing? Is it possible we are connecting soul to soul? Yes, I believe it is because there is no better way to describe it, but to say, "Bless the LORD, Oh, my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name." (Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice always.")
From "Prayers for Seed-Faith Living" by Oral Roberts, "YOU are LORD."
"Master, I rejoice in the knowledge that there is nothing too hard for YOU . . . there is no part of my life which is beyond YOUR love and concern. For I face all kinds of needs: food, clothing, shelter, a car. All t his takes money. But how glorious it is Lord, that YOU know this. YOU are LORD-not just of my soul, but of my entire life! And YOUR supply includes every possible need. I thank YOU for this glorious assurance. Amen."
Love,
Chappy

My Meadow Chair
"She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said." Luke 10:39
Have you ever taken a walk not knowing, nor thinking what lies ahead?
You are in need to just get away, be alone, to stretch, and be with God . . . on the trail.
It has an air of refreshment to it . . .
When you take the time to be with Him, exclusive, to be apart from the attractions, the calls of the world systems, the glamour, frills, and sparkle of Madison Avenue and you purposefully walk alone choosing the quiet meadow, the road less traveled, the trail that leads you to the unknown, it is here where God will meet you.
As you make the bend and you look up . . . each step in silent adoration of God's goodness . . . drawing closer and you see on the hill far away . . . the beauty of the Lord.
Yes, it is what your mind pictured when you drew nearer to the vision that has become tangible . . . it is real . . . it is the "chair," the green little seat waiting for you and it is at the foot of the cross.
It waits for someone to kneel before the King who has come off the cross . . . who finished the greatest assignment, who lives forever to walk with those who will invite Him into their home, their hearts, their favorite chairs . . .
When will you take that walk in the meadow . . . God is calling.
"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4
Love,
Chappy Dave
