Lift the Standard

We have been talking about delight this week. Delight is pursuing the presence of Yeshua. Inclining to His voice. As the Bride of Christ, we must know His voice and His ways. This intimate relationship with Yeshua goes much deeper than Sunday mornings.

In Exodus 19 we see Moses goes up the mountain to get a word for the people. When Yahweh gives him the word, he goes back down to the people to tell them what Yahweh had said. In verse 8 this is what they said, “we will do everything the Lord has commanded.” So, Moses brought the people’s answer back to the Lord. This “Christian life” can no longer be about one person getting a word from the Lord to feed the people on Sunday. They eat but they never digest it. Meaning there is no change in their lives.

Our Kingdom family at The Wilderness Place is lifting the standard. We will be a family who climbs the mountain together to the feet of Yeshua to hear His voice for ourselves. We are thankful Abba has led us to a more excellent way with a spiritual father in Pastor Tim. He leads us on a journey together in pursuit of Yeshua. Teaching us what it looks like to delight in the Lord.

When you read the verse before and after Psalm 37:4 this is what it says:

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you.

We only learn to trust, delight and commit everything to the Lord when we know Him. This knowing is not head knowledge. It is the same know that Mary meant when she told Gabriel, how can this be as I have not ever known a man. This is an intimate know. Be intentional today and every day to turn your heart to Him. Pursue Him. Delight in His presence today.
