God Has Already Prepared A Way

So many times in the last several weeks of my life I have been reminded of the cartoon I used to watch as a child that would have a demon on one shoulder and an Angel on the other. Both of those would whisper things to the person and the person would decipher the information and then ultimately make a decision.

Finding our worth and value in Christ is the only answer for our feelings of unworthiness, unloved or or thinking we are devalued. God sent his own to take your place on the cross. He loves. He is love. There is nothing greater than feeling the acceptance and adoration the Lord has for me.

I was reminded of an old Hebrew word, tohuw. The symbol for this word is that of surging, out of control waves of water. It is used many times in the Old Testament, the first time tho, is in Genesis 1:2. One of the meanings of the word, is A place of chaos(formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness) verse 2, the description of the earth is that it was void, in chaos, and darkness.

Abraham had to walk that "thing" out. He had to walk the land before he could have it. He had to be obedient to the Lord and walk it out, He had to cover the ground he was told to cover, he had to walk the entire place front to back and side to side. Abraham had to survey the land, get to know the lay of the it. He was able to understand the hills and valleys. He became familiar with the territory and was able to determine where to plant, where to harvest, where to dig wells

The word “help” comes from the Greek word, BOETHEIA. It is a nautical term, an action word, meaning frapping, to frap. To be honest, I was really hoping that that word meant something along the lines of frappe, like Jesus would give us a good coffee in our time of need lol. Because, hey, who can’t use a good cup of joe on a bad day?

There is a place and that place is so sweet. I love when He beckons me to come Close, to be near Him. To drink in His presence. To soak Him up. But, I just couldn’t shut down my brain and I found myself asking’ “how, how do I get to that place by You?”
