How Precious the Gift

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.

How Precious the Gift

Jesus, Your blood has cleansed us,

washed us and made us free.

Given us victory over death,

Life for eternity.

The Lamb, God's most precious possession.

Given to this world of need,

How Precious the Gift

"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29

The Journey~~~~ Walk the Talk!

Do we understand the gift? Do we understand the Love behind the Gift? We might treat the Love of God like so many other gifts this season. We say, "That's nice." We do not understand it is the essence of life and is the only thing that can satisfy us. How precious the Gift.

Until we understand our neediness, we will not understand the Gift..
