God Has Left the Building, But Not the Heart

Who Am I, O Lord God? When it was all said and done and David was King at last, in a time of peace and intimacy with The Lord, David was humbled by all the blessings in his life. He was overwhelmed by the promises that God had made to him and his family. David made mistakes but his heart belonged to God. And The Lord blessed him for that faithfulness. He continued to seek The Lord and when he messed up, he repented with every bit of his soul. This morning,  I woke up early with some words in my heart that I had to quickly write down.

‘When the world rejects His Holy Word- God has left the building but not the heart.                         When Christian people ignore His Voice- God has left the building but not the heart.                       When the church begins to waste His time- God has left the building but not the heart.                    When schools allow the chaos in- God has left the building but not the heart.                                    When the world would rather live in sin- God has left the building but not the heart.                            When eyes get focused on useless junk- God has left the building but not the heart.                          When hope seems lost, but hearts are turned, God enters in, His love confirmed.                                     The world will always shut the door but a heart for God will seek Him more.                                        The structure alone means nothing much without hearts filled with God’s True Love.                                Let’s keep our hearts on fire for Him and He will always remain within.                                               When maintained and kept by The One Who Knows, a building structure will overflow.                           But when we kick Him out the door because our eyes stay on the floor                                                          The structure walls will begin to shake and soon the walls will begin to break.                                              It’s not about me, it’s not about you, it’s all about Our Lord, that’s Who!                                             So, let’s step aside and let Him in, open the door to Him, not sin.                                                         The structure means more when God resides within. 

Written by Suellen Tutt 9/7/22

 Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?                                   2 Samuel 7:18-19And this was yet a small thing in Thy Sight, O Lord God; but Thou hast spoken also of Thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?”

 

A humble heart will always recognize that God is the One in control and that without Him, we are nothing.

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
