The Treasure Within

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 Treasure Within

The Treasure Within (11X14 Watercolor)

The Treasure Within
Heavenly language comes in many forms,
a smile, a rainbow, an untaught fisherman.
Excellence in a clay vessel,
The treasure within,

Sing Heaven's hymn,
Jesus written in your heart
Look to the One
Why made you,
He created you for this song,
His Plan!

The Journey~~~~Walk the Talk! He has created each of us for this song, His Plan. Do I see His Song as His plan for me? I should. Everything in heaven is in harmony, in rhythm, never in discourse. We pray that His will in heaven be His will in this earth. We are asking for harmony, love, wisdom, all that God is to be brought to earth. All of who God is has been placed in our bosom, to witness who He is.

Some times i look at empty pots, especially as an artist. When I finally see, all the time, He was working His plan, His Spirit, in and through me, in all that I create as it comes through my hands and heart.
