Man now I've been thinking how these angels and Kings are shouting these things non stop. I do not worship non stop - most of us don't but even when I do I'm asking my self "Do I see God to this degree?" "Am I watering down God?" What these angels and kings say in the presence of the Lord are huge if they are being said IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
I am also going through Jonah right now on my own and In chapter 1 - when all the sailors are wondering why the storms are so tempestuous - Jonah says it is his God, and asks the men to throw Him in the sea.... what?! throw him in the sea?! Okay so I know he probably would get thrown in, but I have previously overlooked that Jonah himself asked to be overthrown...
Now Do I worship God and come back to God each day asking to be overthrown?
Holy Lord almighty throw me into tempestuous seas so i may see you receive honor and power and glory for all things for you are so worthy I will sacrifice my life for your son who was sacrificed.
Amen
Thanks Trevor. I think Holy Mount Zion (Christ) has been thrown into the sea (the chaos of nations.) So encouraging to see His heart being quickened in you to join him! I can see you in the water saysing "Jo - Steve" get in here. I can see me saying "Trev - Nahhhhh." I need to get your "Jo" with my "Nahhhhh" so I can be lead to Jerusalem where I "don't want to go" but where the heart of Christ "has to go." You've pushed me closer today to Christ's beckoning - "be thrown into the sea," from a cross, to flood the nations with fire.
ReplyDeleteFrom The Who's Quadrophenia - some of my favorite poetry: "I'm flowing under bridges, and flying through the sky, I'm trickling down cold metal, just a tear in a baby's eye. Let me flow into the ocean, let me get back to the sea. Let me be stormy, let me be calm, let the tide in and set me free. Set me free."
In the turbulent waters of the Red Sea, God offers the most simplest command - "Be still."
Cheers Trevor -- Cheers to placid turbulence.
Peace.
