A glorious redemption.
Song of Solomon. His confident words still thrilling in her heart. With a Shepherd King whose work is done in the darkness and its not done. She went to sleep but her heart stayed awake.
She had a dream that her shepherd came back and asked her to rise. But her comfort kept her in bed. Her heart leapt and caused her to rise but it was too late he left. BUT it was only a dream.
Work is not done in His people's lives.
1) "With His confident words still thrilling her heart." There is beautiful redemption in His words. Live in a world manic with words. But His words a different. He is the door. Bread of life. Way, the Truth and the Life. I am come that you might have life and life abundant. The word that became flesh. Moved into our neighbourhood. He is Foundational, rock beneath our feet.
These feet have been called to bring good news. Feet upon the mountains that bring good news. Is 54: our lives making desolate places habitable again.
Confident words. Be still my anxious heart. Affirm worth and personhood. Way more powerful that any lies that have been spoken over you. Wash them away with His words. His words direct our mind. Issue from the very heart and mind of God. Healing balm to our hearts.
Gospel is not hard. This Christian life is not hard. Hunger and thirst for the word of God like nothing else. When the Word and the Spirit become what they have always meant to be, revival and change will come to the world.
Proverbs says "a mans heart plans his way, but God directs his steps." More ground to take. Our pilgrimage isn't over, otherwise Christ would have returned.
Psalm 84:5-7 And how blessed all those in whom you live, whose lives become roads you travel; They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks, discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain! God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view! (Psalm 84:5-7 MSG)
2) "through the lattice and SAW her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night." Keep The Lord Jesus is in full view. Eyes glued on JC. Jesus' heart is recorded in His word. So many things can distract us, keep your eyes on Him. Allow Him to make Himself known to you.
What's left of this great redemption story. We need to be watching Jesus more than ever. Watching His heart. Watching His moves. He has moves that defy the odds. Spit on the blind man's eyes (flying in the face of religion).
Loved when He moved and when He didn't move. He did it for us and set us free.
3) "she watched him turn away and disappear into the night". Speaks of many things, but resonates with Bobbie, that His work isn't done. Be relent-lace in finishing our work. Harvest is not complete. Fields that need attention. Still more to be done. Open our eyes and see what still needs to be done, rescue and redeem.
We need to redeem that which we are able to redeem, and allow Him to redeem that which only He can. Not by might, nor power but by Your Spirit.
This movement needs women with clean, clear thinking. In the army equipped. Precise and alive unto God and His word. Take control of your health. Stir up your faith and trust in God as it will lead you to a place of healing.
Stir up and reinvigorate your heart. Nt how gifted, it's how willing we are. For the work that is before us we need to be willing. Physical heart is a muscle which needs to be exercised and our spiritual heart needs the same. Get out of our comfort zone and be stretched and put a good demand on our spiritual heart.
Redeem your boots. Warrior Princess, Daughter girl. Put on our army boots. Get back into the fight. A lot of people who need us to facilitate their freedom. Slave or free baby. #redeemitbabyredeemit. Be a daughter of the free woman.
Put it under the Blood. Put it on the table.
