Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 27Jun2025
Scripture Reference: Ps 17:4, 1 Cor 13:12, Ps 36:7 & Ps 16:11
I am fully Known by ADONAI
How do we truly recognize someone? It’s like unraveling a mystery filled with endless possibilities. We need to channel our inner Sherlock Holmes, noticing the tiniest—the tone of their voice, their expressions, or their actions. It’s not just about observation; it’s about being present, attentive, and fully engaged in the connection.
Hence David said in Ps 17:4 MSG, I am not trying to get my way in the WORLD's WAY. I am trying to get YOUR way, YOUR WORD's WAY.
It's so intimate and truth. Is it not?. He further mentioned clearly that as for me, I shall see YOUR face in righteousness; I will be full satisfied, When I awake to find myself seeing YOUR Kindness (V15). He is not trying to do anything for the sake of himself, but for CHIRST's sake. Hallelujah!
He had the confident that the LORD will fill him with Joy in HIS Presence (Ps 16:11). Go to His Presence; Not expect His present alone; David planned on looking Him full in the face, to see HIS full stature and live heaven on earth. What a profound thought. This is what Jesus taught in the Lord's Prayer, Let your Kingdom come on the earth as it's in the Heaven.
Let us ask Him to
- Show the wonders of His Great Love.
- Display, reveal, make His kindness, loving devotion, wonderful mercies known to us.
- Save by His right hand, when we take refuge in Him.
- Hide in the shadow of His wings, under His cool wing feathers from the wicked, mortal enemies closing in.
- Keep as the Apple of His Eye, as His own, His affectionate care to protect us as the pupil of His eye to watch over us.
- Rise up to confront our enemies.
- Do something to oppose our enemies.
God has engraved us, written our names, inscribed us on the palms of His hands; A Picture carved, painted us, written our names on the back of His hand.
Let us cry out as Psalmist did, How excellent is thy Lovingkindness, O God, we put our trust under the shadow of thy wings (Ps 36:7). You have made known Life to us and You will always fill us with Joy when we are in Your Presence and in Your Atmosphere (Ps 16:11). We are fully Known by You (1Cor 13:12), Hence we will boldly declare that we are not trying to get our way in the World's way, However We are trying to get Your way, Your Word's Way (Ps 17:4). Help us to recognise You, Your answers, Your instruction, Your Message, Your assurance through a gentle Whisper over the parade of powerful wind tore through the mountains, an earthquake shaking the ground, a blazing fire (1 Kg 19:11-13). We are more eager to enjoy those spectacle stillness, dwell in the powerful divine presence often comes in quiet and intimate moments. We are more interested in Your Presence than Present; Open our eyes of our hearts O Lord, We want to feel, see and enjoy through the Joy that comes from Your Presence. Please help us to fix the thought that we are fully known by You, For whoever touches us touches the apple of Your eye (Zech 2:8); Reveal Yourself more clearly—to be seen high and lifted up, shining in the light of Your Glory, In Jesus Name, Amen.
Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
In His Grip
