I always seem to get a "Verse for the Year" from the Lord...
You know...it is just one of those times ...when you know...the Lord is speaking something directly to you. Psalm 81 is one of those kinds of passages for me in 2015....because...I tend to be...quite rebellious...
The first part of the psalm recounts God’s major work in freeing the nation of Israel from cruel bondage…I can sure relate…my own strongholds of the enemy…were cruel, unkind, hard to bear…and nearly cost me my life…
Then..the passage then takes a turn...and this is what He has been speaking gently...but firmly...to me...this year...
“If only you would have listened to Me…”
“If only…”
“He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you."Psalm 81:16
Face it…most of the time we want Jesus to do…what WE want to do. Like Israel “we walk in our own stubborn counsel.”
Oh…oh, oh, oh…but we miss out…....on so much. We miss out on the enemy’s defeat in our life, satisfaction, joy, peace, purpose, destiny, vision, and power. No more…
I want the honey from the rock that only He gives…so I ask…
Want to join me right now in fresh and complete surrender to Him?
(p.s. Be sure to take a look at Psalm 81 for yourself!)
