The question of the day is: Do we value what Jesus said as utter truth?” Value it such that our days are unusual because we see His hand everywhere involved?
He told His own that he was leaving earth to return to His Father and that He would prepare a place where they could be forever with the Son and the Father. (John 14:3)
He also said, “I will never leave or forsake you . . . for Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the earth.” (Hebrews 16:5 – Matthew 28:20)
Popular today in worship services is the singing, “I want to see Him: to see Him high and lifted up; shining in the light of His glory – singing holy, holy, holy.”
Is it the case that when we gather in churches all over our land, and are gathered in the Christian name, that we see Him there?
What are we saying? Is this our prayer to Him? Have there been those leaving these services exclaiming, “I see Him?”
Jesus said, “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto myself” (John 12:32).
A recent sermon was heard that we need to “Seek first the kingdom of God” . . . and trust that all we need for fulfilled lives ‘will be added to us.’ (Matthew 6:33)
The words of Jesus were, “Seek first the kingdom of god and His righteousness.” We are to seek; but never as a result of our quest will we earn His righteousness.
The distinguishing mark of Christian truth is here found: the LORD gives to us His Son and imparts into us His righteousness. He never leaves us alone on earth. He never forsakes us.
We must receive Him, “see” Him through eyes of the faith He gives every person, and believe in our hearts that He hears us, that He abides faithful, speaks the truth, and that He cares with omnipotent caring. Do we see Him?
We need not to incessantly say, “I want to see you.” This can become vain repetition. If we meet in His name, He is among us. He is not among us with the seeing of the eye, the hearing of the ear; but truly, we are told in scripture we should seek the Lord, reach out to him and perhaps feel him. (Acts 17:27) He is not far of any of us.
Jesus said, “I am the way” – “I am with you always.” Let us acknowledge Him, believe Him, invite Him into our moments, hear Him, feel Him – and then, worship Him because we do see Him the only way He can be seen today.
Today is my day of Jesus Christ, and tomorrow, and the next. But, one day He will manifest in such a way that not only eyes which fixed upon Him through faith and fellowship see Him, but all will see Him with their own eyes every knee will bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. (Philippians 2:10)
Often I awake singing in my inner being to myself: “Come to the Fountain.” Oh, the Love of God that passes knowledge, that forms my new and daily understanding, that gives me my wings for each day!
Come to the Fountain and then – your worship will take on an irresistible invitation to others. The church of Jesus Christ will never fail on earth because Jesus satisfies our longings – and we only have to share what the LORD has done – for us – each day.
Father, I pray now for the reader – let them see you. You are high and lifted up; and you are here – as always. “Open” now, the eyes of hearts. It is well with our souls for you have never left us to the vultures of lives; and you never will.

“Being fearless” has always been a critical skill for non-profit leadership that wants to achieve the changes their non-profit was established up to deal with. AND it nonetheless needs much more development. This really is not a whole new fad growing from social media.
We like hearing from readers. We are non-profit. Our interest is in helping and reaching people for Christ.
