The Promise of My Father

The Earth will bring forth its Praise

In the Psalms many of David's songs began in distress and concluded in victory. He journeyed from where he was to the throne, to the temple.

Israel sang his psalms as they journey from their homeland every year to the temple where they brought sacrific and were released from their sins for one more year. There is a progression in the psalms.

The following devotions are from Betty Slade's poetry books, "Within the Veil" and the second volumn "In His Presence".

A Pilgrim

Just a pilgrim passing through
The bounds of mere man
The rules of mere doctrine
Time given to mere earth.

This pilgrim has travelled
through time and space
to the heavenly city of faith.
The reality of life with God.

Operating ouside of time
As we submit to His purpose and plan
He passes talent
knowledge
and strength
To do exceedingly abundant of what
He asks or thinks,
according to the power
that works in tis mere pilgrim.

The Promise of My Father

The Promise of my Father

Tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued

with power from on high.

The Holy Spirit has empowered us to live life anew.

Teacher,

Comforter,

Friend,

We hold the Godhead within.

God says,

Trust Me to see that it is true.

I have made you meek to inherit this

might Spirit.

Submit yourself to the knowledge that

Great miracles are within your realm.

Jesus gave this power to you through His sacrificial death

Reach out for Jesus, and receive everlasting strength.

The Journey~~~~ Walk the Talk! I am wondering today, how many people still believe they have to be at church or the upper room, or in their praying chair in order to understand the presence of the Spirit around them and through them? It took a long time to understand how the spirit teaches us, comfort us and is loyal to us. I was looking for bells and whistles, but today I have that knowing, He is there. The Promise of the Father is here. Praise Him.
