The Lord is my strength & my song; He has become my salvation - Psalm 118:14

Psalm 139:17

Bible (Jeremiah 17:14)

I Will Give Thee Places To Walk (ACCESS) ••• Zechariah 3:7 The promise is preceded by a condition: ‘If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou wilt keep My charge, then . . . I will give thee access among those that stand by.’ That is to say, we cannot keep the consciousness of God’s presence, nor have any blessedness of communion with Him, if we are living in disobedience of His commandments or in neglect of our manifest duty. A thin film of vapour in our sky tonight will hide the moon. Though the vapour itself may be invisible, it will be efficacious as a veil. And any sin, great or small, fleecy and thin, will suffice to shut us out from God. #NoteToSelf If we are keeping His commandments, then, and only then, shall we have access with free hearts into His presence. We, too, may have "a place of access among them that stand by," and not need to envy the angels and the spirits of the just made perfect, the closeness of their communion, and the vividness of their vision, for the same, in its degree, may be ours. We, too, can turn all our desires into petitions, and of every wish make a prayer. We, too can refer all our needs to His infinite supply. We, too may consciously connect all our doings with His will and His glory.

Today, contemplate the unforced rhythms of grace. What might they sound like, look like, taste like, feel like?

The Lord is my rock, my fortress & my deliverer - Psalm 18:2
