Hosannah in the Highest

[3littleboysblue]

As Palm Sunday has come and gone, I have a stirring in my spirit. Was it really so long ago that Jesus rode into town with people throwing palm branches in his path? The people shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" He was boldly declared a KING. And just days later, these same people wouldn't stand up and declare him King again. Political pressure, fear for the consequences on themselves caused them to cower instead of boldly declaring him King and standing for him.

And here we are today, not all that different. Are there days when we cower and eat of the world instead of delighting in the Bread of Life? I do; I know I do. Usually leads to a period of ick in my life. Today I am challenging myself...what am I placing in His path? Am I being a blessing to Him or bringing honor to Him? There are seraphims circling the Lord right now declaring "Holy, Holy, Holy..." They are discovering a new facet of the Lord every moment and declaring Him Holy. I am declaring Him Holy and am challenging myself to dig deeper so as to discover a new facet to my God.

What a great week to shed off some of the fleshly desires and bow down before him. Him who came so that we could have true life. Ah, sometimes the gravity of it all gets so lost, doesn't it? Oh, Jesus, I love you, I exalt you.

Just think of it like this, thanks will get you into the gates, praise will get you into the courts. Oh, yes, praise can liberate you! But true bowing down worship will get you into the secret place, the holy of holies. Tell Him what He means to you this week. He is worthy, He is mighty, King of kings, and Lord of lords, Exalt Him! Seek after Him with a renewed passion this week! Put your trust in Him even more this week! Let us honor Him!

Thanks for sharing! It seems that so many of us are in this place. A place of laying low and getting down on our face and seeking him and crying out to him with a hunger and a passion as never before. There has been such a heaviness amongst believers, a place of discontentment in our walk with the Lord. Discontent because we know that there is more and we hunger for it, yet our flesh resist it. The Lord is calling out his people, he is saying come forth and seek me first, make me first in your day, come and sit with me and let's talk a while, I miss you , I long to be with you, hunger and thirst for me and only me. The things of the world will not give you what you long for and seeking acceptance and solutions from others in place of me will leave you empty and void. Seek me first and I will fulfill all of your needs and your hearts desire.  WOW! God is sooo Good, All of the time!  

 Thanks for sharing!!! Love your HEART!
