THE LORD REDEEMETH THE SOUL OF HIS SERVANTS: AND NONE OF THEM THAT TRUST IN HIM SHALL BE DESOLATE.

Isn’t it good to acknowledge this statement? As we trust in Him we will not know desolation. Desolation is such a common experience in the world today. When the experience of desolation comes into our awareness it is good to stop and reorient to trust in the LORD. I find utilizing the HeartMath methods to come back into our rightful place to be very helpful in this regard.

First is to upright ourselves knowing as the psalms also state, “unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.” As we upright ourself and focus our feeling attention on our heart area physically and spiritually while breathing a little slower and deeper than usual  begins the process of orienting back to our trust in the LORD.  While we hold this upright breathing pattern and opening up to our love in the LORD perspective comes back into our view. We can see what is real and what is not. We can then put our feeling attention on that which matters and discount or cut off the unreal. What is real is that which fills our soul with love, that which is unreal tethers and drains. Here in a greater state of “heart coherence,” we can enjoy being in a place that fills our soul to overflowing. Here the experience of desolation dissolves as we know the joy and richness of being in our rightful place.

LET THY MERCY, O LORD, BE UPON US, ACCORDING AS WE HAVE HOPE IN THEE.

“According as we have hope in thee” can also be said as according as we have confidence in thee. As we do find confidence in the LORD we know HIS mercy. HIS mercy that has been given to us all through the ages since the fall of man. As we have the awareness of HIS mercy we are filled with love to overflowing. Here it is our love to let the LORD’s influence be restored on earth through the expression of our living. As we reawaken to our single minded focus to provide this influence our living is ordered up. Double-mindedness has been the cause of a living experience that has gone no where. It has caused an experience of a lack of fulfillment, tiring out living and a lack of confidence. As we make the choice to know and cultivate our heart and mind interest to provide the influences of the LORD on earth in a real and true way without imposition our living experience takes on a charge. A charge of life, of joy, of enthusiasm, of assurance, of serrendipity. Here we emanate the influences of LORD through the expression of our living easily, gracefully and perfectly.

Let’s continue in this central way.

BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART, ALL YE THAT HOPE IN THE LORD

Another way of at looking at the word hope is to view it as confidence. As our confidence is in the LORD our awareness of courage and the strength of our heart is increased. Confidence in the LORD is increased as we give our heart attention to that which matters. What matters is to live in such a way that our expression emanates the influences of the LORD moment by moment day by day. This does relate to being conscious of what we are emanating and adjusting as necessary to stay in this way. I have begun to present HeartMath tools that are helpful in this regard. Reference my DrSteveVentola.com link to note my posts accordingly.

HeartMath was created out of the intention of Doc Childre to find a greater communion with God. I have found it very helpful also in this regard. It is  good to bring what I love in inner sense to find greater expression through the means of my outer work. May my example help you to do the same.

GIVE THANKS AT THE REMEMBRANCE OF HIS HOLINESS

As we remember the wholeness of LORD we realize His wholeness goes beyond our mental comprehension. Here we can only bow to His awesome presence and all enfolding love. As we remember we become whole ourselves. And know the honor of letting His Name increase on earth through us.

THE VOICE OF THE LORD POWERFUL

As we rise up to hear the voice of the LORD we commune in His power. It has been a tendency to block ourselves off from hearing His voice because of shame and fear. Because of this we have tended to think we are  not worthy to hear His  voice or to actually do His will.  If not us then who. Each of us is here on earth to do the will of the LORD. We would not be here at this time if it was not our time to provide an unique integrated part for the LORD to have his way on earth.

In hearing the voice of the LORD I have sensed that He is calling us to come to rest in our hearts. The time is now to provide an influence of love to our own heart and mind letting the downcasting incriminating thoughts about ourselves and others be see as insignificant. And  acknowledge what is significant in our heart of hearts is to provide an influence of blessing on earth.

The voice of the LORD is powerful. Powerful to bring our heart to rest, vision to our mind and invigoration to our body in doing His will on earth. Here is our fulfillment in living. Let us listen to His voice in the power of love.

THE LORD…IS THE SAVING STRENGTH OF HIS ANOINTED

As we choose to be anointed of the LORD we know his strength. We choose to be anointed by simply keeping a thankful and grateful heart. As our heart is so clean the strength of LORD is known in and through our heart, mind and body. Let genuine thankfulness fill your soul and know the stength of the LORD.

MY FOOT STANDETH IN AN EVEN PLACE: IN THE CONGREGATIONS WILL I BLESS THE LORD.

I find this verse to remind us how to be in an even place when we are challenged by stress. To be in place of evenness is to be able to have perspective to know how to respond. An even place is a place where we are not treading towards getting knocked off balance and where we can see how to move forward in facing the challenges that present themselves in our lives. An even place where we abide blessing and glorifying the LORD in and through the moments of our living with all we are with.

LORD, I HAVE LOVED THE HABITATION OF THY HOUSE, AND THE PLACE WHERE THINE HONOUR DWELLETH.

As we love abiding in the spirits of appreciation, understanding, care, compassion and forgiveness we know the habitation of the house of the LORD. Here there is a natural honour that emanates from us as we honor the LORD in all that we think, say and do.

In addition as we so abide things we have done battle with within ourselves such as fears we may have had are dissipated by the cleansing nature of the LORD at work through ourselves. So often the things we may not like within ourselves we do battle with to try to get rid of all on our own in our own time which NEVER HAPPENS.  This only creates a loop of wasted time and living. These things in addition to fear may relate to things we are ashamed of, or things we have hated or things we have wanted. As we acknowledge to “LET THE LORD DO THE WORKS,” through ourselves we can let go of the battle to try to get over these things. We can let the natural processes of cleansing the LORD can only do through ourselves occur as we simply abide in the habitation of his house. Here we choose to abide in the  spirits of appreciation, understanding, care, compassion and forgiveness moment by moment, day by day.
