As we are turned in the direction of the Lord stilled and silent before Him there comes into awareness the integrated nature of all of us praising and rejoicing in and of the Lord.
THAT GLORY MAY DWELL IN OUR LAND
Glory dwells in our land as each of us is extending it through ourselves. Each of us is a point of specific and unique glory that fits and integrates with the glory of others. If we find we are at odds with another it is vital we look at what we are giving our responsive attention to. As we make the internal correction to give our full and perfect response to God and the things of God we find we return to the kingdom of heaven at hand. Here there is complete peace and the return to the extension of the true glory of ourselves.
THE LORD WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY
As we acknowledge and receive the truth of these words our heads are uplifted regarding all matters of our living especially those that may be of a challenging nature. With our heads oriented rightly we move in the paths of righteousness. Righteousness that is not dogmatic rather a righteousness that is characterized by a grace and fluidity. Here we offer the beauty and soundness of what is real and true giving solid evidence of the glory of the Lord. Let our living be such an expression of blessing.
BLESSED THE MAN WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN THEE…
Strength is available and at hand. True strength really has only one source. And that source is at the center of everything. As we pause to deliberately abide in an orientation that brings a fullness to overflowing we remember and rest in our rightful place. Here we realize the life given to us is a gift and comes from a source much larger than ourselves. As I abide in this place with you I give thanks for the opportunity to commune in what we acknowledge as the spirit of the Lord. Here there is strength and perspective to continue living in increasing grace and stature.
MY SOUL LONGETH, YEA, EVEN FAINTETH FOR THE COURTS OF THE LORD
The courts of The Lord I find interesting to consider. What is brought to my mind is an awareness of how the courts of The Lord would bring an experience of place. A personal sensing of being in place integrated with others where there would be more than a feeling of “fairness for all” rather a deep joy to be in a community where we each knew our integrated place serving each other with ease and fluidity. A place where all would be one in creating union, extending the Glory of The Lord moment by moment.
I ANSWERED THEE IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THUNDER
In the secret place of thunder is an experience of solid presence. When we enter into this place there is only this place. This place that is solid and also all encompassing. Here there is no shadow of turning. Here there is only you and the Lord. It is a secret place for no one else can enter except you. It is your secret place. As we are before the Lord in this way our soul is stilled into the largeness of being for here there is Oneness with all. All concerns we may have had are non existent, only that which is right and true is present here. Learn to enter into this place and know the real thunder of who you are!
INSTRUCTIONS ON ENTERING INTO THE SECRET PLACE OF THUNDER:
Stand or sit erect. Feel the invigoration of uprightness.
Consider the words, “the secret place of thunder,” reverently
Open to the awesome place of the all encompassing Presence of the Lord
Listen and know the thunder of what is true and right in You in Oneness.
SING ALOUD UNTO GOD OUR STRENGTH
Singing unto God in midst of all really does bring us strength. Let’s continue to discover more and more what this brings within ourselves and with others!
SO WE THY PEOPLE AND SHEEP OF THY PASTURE WILL GIVE THEE THANKS FOR EVER: WE WILL SHEW FORTH THY PRAISE TO ALL GENERATIONS.
As we give thanks and praise we reside in a place that is tranquil. Currently, there have been sheep placed in our nearby park to clear away the weeds. I have been enthused to take notice of the sheep amidst the tree full area they have been in. As I consider this verse with this picture in mind it brings an experience of peace that is deep and full. As I give thanks for this experience I am moved to consider all in my world with such an appreciation. As I do so a greater peace and tranquility fills me to overflowing. Here I have more of a sensing of what it means to give thanks to the Lord for ever and praises that extends to all generations. Let’s utilize the experiences of love and wonder we have in realizing a deep sense of thankfulness for them allowing them to refresh our world and extend a greater love. A love that unites us all that is clearly of our Lord of Love.
SO HE FED THEM ACCORDING TO THE INTEGRITY OF HIS HEART…
According to the integrity of his heart. What beautiful words! As I consider what these words mean I consider my world in light of them. I am moved to think about how I feed those in my world with the integrity of my heart. The integrity that uprights myself, the integrity that has the best interests of others at heart and the integrity that has the interests of the Lord at heart. As I view these thoughts I find I am in a place that is filled with peace and ease. In a place that is fulfilling that has its own rhythm. A place that allows an infilling of my soul paused in this moment to let something of peace and ease express through me. Here I sense a synchronicity with divine order. Here there is a fullness and an interest to fulfill my divine commission. As I take this moment to receive and appreciate it I am further moved to view my day and my life for the purposes of letting this place of integrity expand on earth. Here I invite you to share with me in the wonderful graciousness of this space enjoying divine synchronicity being filled to overflowing. As we know this overflowing through ourselves we look out upon our words with blessing eyes. Here we bless our world. Let’s continue to know what it means to be in place feeding our world according to the integrity of our heart.
THOU HAS DECLARED THY STRENGTH AMONG THE PEOPLE
The strength of the Lord is made evident through all of nature. I am intrigued by looking at the strength of a tree noticing its trunk and roots that hold a massive tree up. As I consider this verse I also consider how the strength of the Lord is to be declared though us individually. Our words and really all of our living is to declare this. When we are rooted in acknowledging sound and true ways that give expression of that which is honorable and real it declares the strength of the Lord. As we give honor in this way we find we live in a sound place knowing an experience of fulfillment.
